Press Release
Concerned Citizen of Ghana
December 21, 2015
PETITION TO THEIR
EXCELLENCIES, PRESIDENTS KUFFOUR AND RAWLINGS SEEKING TO
HAVE THEIR IMAGES REMOVED FROM THE 116 BUS RAPID TRANSIT
(BRT) BUSES
Your Excellencies,
It is with great dismay that we, as Concerned Ghanaians,
have noticed the adorning of 116 government procured BRT
buses with the portraits of the current and former
presidents, namely John Evans Atta Mills, John Agyekum
Kuffour, Jerry John Rawlings and John Dramani Mahama.
We believe that you will consider it profligate, as we do,
that government spent a whopping GHC3.6m on this hubristic
exercise. In the midst of our current economic problems as a
nation, which caused the President to admonish Ghanaians to
tighten their belts, we find that it is a wasteful
expenditure to paste pictures of former presidents including
the current president on these 116 buses at an individual
cost of GHC31,000.
Knowing the good values of prudent financial management and
good governance which you ascribe to, we are left with no
doubt in our minds that you do not approve of such an
expenditure as well as the idea of placing your images on
these buses.
We are thus humbly appealing to your good conscience to
request that you direct that your images be taken off those
buses.
We, together with the growing number of online signatories
to this petition, shall remain eternally grateful to you if
you could grant us our petition.
God bless you and God bless Ghana.
Thank you.
Signed

matters
Commentary, Dec 15, Ghanadot - The entrance fee
is fixed at two levels. One for Ghanaians and the
slightly higher one for non-citizens or
foreigners....The experience that ensues, with the usual
curious onlookers around, may sound or seem comical, but
