Anthony Nukpenu, the Greater Accra Regional Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has revealed he confiscated a Toyota Land Cruiser V8 that was auctioned to a retired Deputy Clerk of Parliament.
According to Anthony Nukpenu, the car was auctioned to the retired Deputy Clerk of Parliament after he used it for nine years while working in parliament.
Speaking on TV XYZ Anthony Nukpenu revealed, “I went to retrieve the car. Here is the car document. This car was auctioned to someone who worked for the state and was retiring. A car that he had used for nine years a Land Cruiser V8 was auctioned to him for GH¢13,000, and he paid a duty of GH¢20,000.
“This is the Customs document for the car. From the auction letter, it is stated that it was sold to him for GH¢13,000. This is the kind of crime we are committing against the state”, he added.
He further detailed, “When the man called me, I asked him, ‘You said you are NDC; is this how you want Mahama to survive? This was the car allocated to you when you were Deputy Clerk of Parliament, and you retire and apply for it to be auctioned to you.
“Chief, is the GH¢13,000 you paid commensurate with the value of the car? Then you went and paid a duty of GH¢20,000. If Parliament feels they no longer have use for these cars, they should allocate them to district assemblies for work purposes”, he added.
