The previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, \u00a0has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of trying to demonize it, following claims there are over 200 cars missing from the presidency.<\/p>\n
The Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, revealed to the media that, there are so far\u00a0208 cars unaccounted for from the Flagstaff House\u2019s vehicle pool, based on the assessment of some car models in the inventory.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”keLIrDhIF9MWyQtJ1GeiV4Db6QIW4A83″]But the previous government in a statement signed by the former Deputy Chief of Staff, Johnny Osei Kofi, said Mr. Arhin\u2019s claims were \u201c false, baseless without merit\u201d, adding that they represented a continuation of the \u201cdistortions and bad faith that have characterized the conduct of the NPP side of the Transition team.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement explained further that, \u201cas part of the transition process, both the Assets and Logistics Committee on the NPP side were given a detailed list of all vehicles in the pool at the Presidency. More importantly, a total of 641 vehicles were listed and properly accounted for. This was duly captured in the handing over notes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The previous government has also questioned why the government has not \u201cput out an iota of evidence to back these claims.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the NPP government was sincere about these claims, it would have published a full list of all allegedly missing vehicles and provide specific information on each of them\u2026 The onus now lies squarely on the Akufo Addo\/Bawumia government to provide very specific details of the supposedly missing vehicles, the statement concluded.<\/p>\n
