A former Presidential staffer in the John Mahama administration, Dr. Clement Apaak, has disclosed that his government ordered some 43 new vehicles few days before leaving office upon the request of the incoming Akufo-Addo government.<\/p>\n
The Mahama government has been accused of procuring 43 new vehicles for the presidency four days before leaving office at a cost of over nine million dollars.<\/p>\n
But speaking on Citi FM<\/strong>\u2019s news analysis programme, The Big Issue<\/strong> on Saturday, Dr. Apaak insisted that they did nothing untoward.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”n9ZaXVbtDfSrTOc2OZiFh6zEQxvDCWUV”]\u201cIt\u2019s indeed true that the said vehicles were ordered, but the request was made to our side during the transition. So if indeed the vehicles have been procured, I can say on authority that it was part of the request which was made by the incoming government,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Dr. Apaak, who is also the Member of Parliament for the Builsa South constituency on the ticket of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), further argued that they couldn\u2019t have on their own accord, procure the vehicles for another person’s to use.<\/p>\n He added that, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), would be compelled to release documentary evidence if they feel victimized by the current government because they believe there was \u201cnothing fishy\u201d in the deal.<\/p>\n
