17 YEARS OF LITIGATION BRAND NEW VEHICLES LEFT TO RUST

 By Kwamina Bamfo-Agyei

Abandoned vehicles

As a result of seventeen years litigation between the government of Ghana and African Automobile Company Limited, eighty-six cross country vehicles imported by government, have been left to rust at the local government Institute in Accra.

The vehicles were originally brought into the country to be used by District Chief Executives.

But the then Kufuor government failed to distribute the vehicles to the various assemblies, citing the absence of a written contract in the purchase of the vehicles.

Governments thereafter failed to reach an amicable settlement with the importers of the vehicles, African Automobile Company Limited.

Parliament of Ghana in 2017 hinted to investigate the issue.
