Attorney General Submits Report On Branded Buses Fiasco To Chief Of Staff

The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Marrietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, has submitted to the Chief of Staff her report on the Ghc 3.6m branding saga that has engulfed the country lately.

The saga involves branding 116 commercial buses which were acquired to augment the fleet of the Rapid Bus Transport system in the capital. Each bus was branded with the likeness of former Presidents of the Republic, and somehow that cost the taxpayer Ghc 3.6m.

In the aftermath of the backlash from a furious public, the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, indicated that an inquiry would be made into the circumstances of the contract. He therefore ordered the Attorney General to carry out that investigation.

The Attorney General on Tuesday December 22 presented the report to the Chief of Staff at the Presidency. They somehow managed to turn the entire thing into a photo op for the cameras, but hopefully there are some real gems in there that would lead to prosecution of those who have taken Ghanaians for a ride.

Although with the Chief of Staff issuing his order on December 17, and five days later a report has been submitted- that seems like a very hopeful stance to take.

The contents of the report are yet to be made public.
