Alarm Blow! Over Minister's BMW Car Gift

“Subsequent to the decision for the ministries to provide for the use of their ministers, the Ghana Highways Authority (GHA) was requested to arrange and purchase a saloon car for one of their ongoing road construction projects” is part of the contents of a correspondence dated 2nd August 2011 emanating from the desk of the minister. More worrying is the fact the contract in question is one of those whose slow pace execution remains an issue of public scrutiny since the inception of the Mills administration.Recently, after initial complaints that there was no money to complete the Achimota-Ofankor road, Mills ordered the release of cash to the contractor to resume work at the site. It is suggested that someone whispered into the ears of the president who subsequently sought to see the car before ordering its seizure. President Mills is said to have expressed disappointment in the conduct and expensive taste of his subordinate for the German car imported by Mechanical Lloyd, representatives of BMW in the country. “About the said BMW, what actually transpired is that the ministry, at a management meeting, decided to purchase another duty car for the minister as a standby duty car to augment the other one as a result of the fact that the minister is always on the go across the country inspecting, cutting sod, commissioning projects. Also, as all readers may have observed, the minister is one of the ministers who is always with the president anytime he is on tour of the country, thus, he needed a standby car that he could quickly use when the other one develops a fault. “The minister was amazed when he was shown a BMW saloon car that was purchased for him. He said it plainly in a letter that the car was too expensive and too luxurious for his use and said he was not going to use it and has never used it. He quickly reported this case to the president and Castle has given him a new car,” Agbenyo said in a statement posted on the internet.
