Government may have to accept the 43 vehicles ordered by the Mahama administration just at the end of their term in office, if it is established that there was a proper contract.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”7Qk0fFRqFqkWV1r2e4SB4VhGXGih85fW”]Currently in transit in Dubai, the vehicles were ordered a few days before the then government left office.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Point Blank segment of Eyewitness News<\/strong>, \u00a0the Minister for Information, Mustapha Hamid has\u00a0said government will accept the vehicles if it discovers the contract was transparent enough.<\/p>\n “The last time I spoke with National Security, they were in talks with the importer. I think that if the contract to buy these cars was awarded transparently, nothing wrong with the transaction and they have been bought with state money I think in my view, we will have to take them,” said Mr. Hamid.<\/p>\n Mr. Hamid also clarified that the said moratorium placed on the purchase of vehicles by President Nana Addo would not apply in this case since the vehicles were not purchased under the NPP administration.<\/p>\n NPP did not request for vehicles\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
