    THE FIRST THING THESE PEOPLE VOTED FOR IS FOR THE STATE TO BUY 237 BRAND NEW V8s FIR THEM BEFORE THEY EVEN START WORK

    MPs, Speaker and Judges with sirens trying to force their way through traffic. In addition, wealthy Ghanaians with V8s will illegally install sirens on their cars. No one stops and checks the legality of V8s with sirens. Utte ...

    It is not the use of motorcade it is the abuse of the usage. Some members extend to wifes, children and sidechicks. It is also the way some of you talk in public as if the country has no owners. it belongs to we the people

  • Sidechicks 2 years ago

    Bro sidechicks? Hahaha. You are a legend.

  • Kweku Holly 2 years ago

    I beg to disagree. Extending the use of motorcade to all MPs and judges IS a problem. They need to use the congested roads so that they can understand the hardships on the road, and be motivated to push for infrastructure en ...
