    Mahama camboo or wellington boots, these are clearly temporary solutions that wont last. This isnt the first time these vehicles have been used in Ghana. Why not send some of the rebranded buses to thoise areas!

    This is competition in a democracy. If passengers now prefer the camboo advise yourself positively. Go for a camboo.
