Where are all the yapping fools from the USA, Canada, UK, Germany and places in-between who lied to have the unwise and uncultured vote the NPP into power?
From Dr. Okoampa-Ahoofe, through K. Badu to Adofo Rockson, Ghanaweb has been bombarded with one ignorant fabrication after another preaching to a bunch of morons and educated but ignorant NPP and NDC base and this is what we get in Ghana. This decision by the president, Nana Akufo-Addo, who as of last week was lying through his collection of ignorant inner circle that the government will not buy additional cars shows that no matter how much education some Ghanains attain they will never get the gutter level thinking that comes from tribal backwardness from their system. How many toilet facilities do we have in parliament and all the government buildings around town? How many places around Ghana can people stop and take a sip at drinking fountains? And yet here we are with "kokoase" NPP and NDC members of parliament ramming through a bill to finance cars for morons who could not buy or own cars from hard work but from a degenerate NPP government. For the few left with brain here in Ghana and readers on Ghanaweb next time you read articles from old fools in the Diaspora masquerading as some new wise men write about corruption and wisdom see them for what they are; a bunch of no good sorry ass creatures who may present themselves as educated but are ignorant to the bone.

If MPS need cars, like everybody, why can't they apply for loans individually from the comercial banks? This practice whereby government approves loans for them to effect payment for purchasing cars must stop forthwith.

It's a loan so any MP who does not want it does not have to take it. Many of them can buy their own vehicles and miniseries use govt vehicles anyway so this is free loan without interest

This is insane. How much do these people make to pay of an $80000 loan in 4 years in a country where interest rates range in the 25% to 30% range? This is "legalized" theft borne on the backs of poor farmersand othe less-privileged in the society. And while we are at it what is this crazy concept on "ex-gratia payments"? These people go around begging for these jobs and then at the end of their terms have to be paid "appreciation money" for their work. Four years from now this theft is rebooted in the next parliament and the vicious cycle continues.

Which means their monthly payments would be almost $1800. Their monthly salary minus taxes, social security,insurance and others would be little more than $6000. Think of this, how can they pay$1800 from this $6000 and have their life style with their big houses and cars? How?

So in Ghana government has to bear responsibility for arranging loans for MPs to buy their luxurious SUVs? Why do these people make parliamentary democracy so expensive? Whether the MPs refund the amount over 4 years or not, it is not fair to the tax payer. $22 million can be used to do more important projects for the benefit of the poor people of this country. Why can't the MPs go to the banks to raise loans to purchase their vehicles? If the ordinary person wants to buy a vehicle for his use where does he go if he does not have the cash? The bank of course. So MPs should go to the bank, not depend on state funds. What is the opportunity cost? Loss of good drinking water for the rural folk, or cheap houses for the poor. This is sheer madness.

The president came out to say there will be no purchase of cars, to which opposition MP Ablakwa stated that the cars have already been ordered, but what happened, insults were wielded at him,but here we are today, $22.5 million loan fer cars.
