Stopping appointees from driving V8s not doable – Anyaa Sowutuom MP

Dickson Adomako Kissi, says some government appointees might go against government’s directive on not driving V8s.

He observed that most of the roads in the country are unmotorable, and plying such roads without V8s will be difficult for some government appointees who are Members of Parliament (MPs) to visit their constituencies.

If you stop me from using V8, I don’t know how I will get to some of my places, and I’m in Accra.

“I mean if I need to go to Agape, if I need to go to certain parts within my constituency, if I make a move with salon car at Anyaa, there will be trouble, so I think that, that will not be very doable, and very difficult to measure,” Dr

The lawmaker suggested that government appointees assigned with V8s should be made to pay for their own fuel, in order to cut the government’s cost in purchasing fuel for them.

He said some bold measures need to be taken by the government to scrap fuel given to government appointees for their V8s,

That can be a very bold move… When the onus is on you to pay fuel for wherever you will go, you will be much careful in terms of the route you use and where and how,” he suggested on The Point of View.
