Former Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah should be queried about the whereabouts of some 208 missing state cars at the presidency, Administrator General, David Yaro, has said.
According to him, documents covering all state properties including the cars at the seat of government and presented to the transition team were signed by Mr Debrah, therefore, if some of them are missing, he would be the appropriate person to be held liable.
There is currently a back-and-forth between the Akufo-Addo government and the erstwhile Mahama administration concerning the number of state vehicles left at the presidency after the president’s press secretary Eugene Arhin revealed that 208 state cars were missing.
The former government subsequently released a statement on Thursday saying it left behind 641 cars and dared the new government to point out the alleged missing ones.
Speaking in an interview with Class News on Friday, 10 February, Mr Yaro said: “If there are areas that need clarification, the minister going out is invited to help to go through the clarification and everything before you (new minister) sign and take off.” “One way of making sure they [cars] are missing is that you had your copy of the handing over notes, did you discover the missing vehicles during the transition? If you did, was it raised with whoever signed? In the case of the office of the president, it was signed off by the Chief of Staff, so, the former chief of staff should have been questioned to explain how those vehicles came not to be there,” Mr Yaro explained.
“We are shocked and we feel very bad about this situation because between 2001 and 2009, similar things happened, and, so, the law establishing our office was promulgated to take care of such things to stem the occurrence of such things, so, if they are happening again it’s so sad. It means our law is not being very effective or we are not respecting the tenets of the law.”

Don't tell me what I understood or didn't. If u have any comments to make, make them and don't address me. I'm entitled to my opinions. Besides, u don't know what informed my comment. It was a culmination of info I heard that explains my submission. I don't have to explain myself to u or anyone for that matter. It's purely my prerogative what I say and mean. Don't be a hypocrite. If ndc was still in power, they would have blown over 20 million dollars not cedis for the celebration. And before u guys go bonkers on the 20 mill, be informed that the money isn't coming from the coffers of government. Propaganda naa na 3y3 mo d3. Is one thing, someone giving u a piece of paper listing items supposedly to be there and physically seeing them. The ndc may have said one thing but upon careful investigation, it would be a lie they told. Nana, npp and Ghana shall succeed so if the haters like, they can leave the country or better still go burn themselves. Nsemfon
Yes Julius Debrah signed and you also did not check, verify or audit the documents you received.... this is the most use..less civil servant I have ever heard speak... he speaks like a political foot soldier, another waste of taxpayers money
I am not sure whether you understood what Mr Yaro is saying. The man is telling you that Julius signed the document and gave to the NPP transition team, therefore if there was no due diligence on the part of NPP's transition team and now they find some vehicles missing it's not his case, they should call Julius for explanation. Is it not strange that a competent government like NPP failed to query the former chief of staff during the transition period of whereabouts of vehicles and have waited that long and are raising this issue, so how competent are they. How can you accept an inventory that you have not examined critically. The whole issue is mischievous. No cars are missing. One month into their administration, that have not built even one police barrier, but they are ready to spend 20 million to celebrate anniversary. They are sacking police recruit and national service secretariat workers because of so called no money to make payment yet they are ready to purchase new fleet of cars for the presidency. Ghanaians are wide awake and are watching them closely. I think they way they spoke about waste in the system, they will be riding bicycles to work.
Now, someone tell me why calling these morons greeeeedy b*stards wicked and dangerous is unfair and otiko was asked to apologise for stating the obvious? Nyame na obetua mo ka ndc. How can u do this to a country that gave u the opportunity to serve but instead, u rob and bleed her so dry and hanging on for dear life. I feel sorry for HE Nana Addo cos his inherited one the unprecedentedly worst economy in our Ghanaian history. Yet these patthetic excuse of human beings will sit on radio and tv and start their st*pid propaganda just a month into nana addo' administration. These ingrates should be made to pay dearly to serve as a deterrent to the ***barred word*** and the aspiring ones to desist from the inhumane cruelty being constantly meted on our country. Dear Lord, please punish to the core all those who know the truth yet will come and defend these crimes against humanity. Let them, their concubines, families never know peace. May everything they've stolen from the country be a trap against them. May they never live long to enjoy their booties. May sorrow and pain never depart from their homes all those guilty of these injustices done against this country in Jesus name, amen.
Did you showed them the cars or just on papers asaa NDC MEMBERS AND LIES
NDC is going to be in opposition for a very very long long time.... Their leaders are just too greedy. I can see them coming back to power in 2048 when all the current greedy leaders are gone. The current leaders are wicked and have hearts of the de.vil.... Their presidential candidate John Mahama is the worst. Otiko is right.
Go and check his suhum residency cos i fear something fishy with Julius too and sure he is the best person to provide info on the whereabout of the cars
