    Go to Toyota Ghana, they will tell you how it's. NDC Followers lack knowledge & experience yet they are loud in everything. Not necessarily govt workers but their organisations but some for them at cheaper prices

    The most important thing is, the assembly plants should provide local jobs and that way workers can buy their own cars.

    foreign cars are more expensive than cars from indigens like kantanka, so what is the agenda? making Ghanaians buy Chinese cars cos they are assembled in Ghana? this is ridiculous
