You don’t get it either. His official drivers are specially trained in so mane stuff that you cannot imagine. Unless the President is also so unserious that he uses any driver to drive him around, but he is a serious person and his experience has thought him to know and do better. There are so many emergency protocols driving a Vvip, not to talk of a President of a country. And HE knows it. It didn’t matter whether it’s a private car or state owned car. Why do you think the pilots who fly the presidents are not any other pilots? Huh?

There might not be any risk, but is the President's brother prepared to be accountable to the country in the event that his driving of his brother leads to unfortunate event of injury or worse? I think that the person of the President, while in office, deserves the maximum protection that the State can offer, and that, to me, is where the concerns of many seem to be coming from.

Col. Aboagye is wrong to minimize the risk level with the president's behind the wheels. The president's driver should be security personnel, trained in defensive and evasive driving techniques, so he can easily get out of trouble should one arise. Unless the president's brother is trained as a security personnel, he shouldn't be driving his brother around.

It was clearly a security risk. What assessment of the situation has Festus Aboagye conducted to ascertain that it was no security risk. Presidents are driven by drivers who are not only trained to drive cars but who are trained in close protection security tactics to save the president in case of emergency. Since when did Ibrahim Mahama train as a VIP Close Protection Officer to be able to drive a country's president to a public function. Aboagye should stop his ignorance.

Col Aboagye (Rtd), I don’t know what has clouded your judgement these days, but you really don’t qualify as the analyst you claim you are. You compare the President’s official drivers as ordinary drivers? In same league as his Brother? When I read your write up on the recent promotions of the CDS and others, I was skeptical and gave you the benefit of the doubt. But this one….no. You have lost it. Maybe you need to re-educate yourself. You have gone stale. And you want to be consulted before serving Generals are promoted….you are irrelevant. HE Mahama won’t give you any appointment because I believe he hears the concerns of Ghanaians about this driving issue.
