Mrs Dorcas Affo-Toffey, you went to Egypt and personally inspected these buses. You told Ghanaians they were coming to ease the long queues, overcrowding and daily transport struggles.
Today, I want to ask you personally: where are the buses, and where is the full update?
When you move around as a Deputy Minister with the comfort and security of official vehicles and escorts, do you still see what the ordinary commuter experiences every morning and evening?
Do you see the queues? The traffic? The overcrowded trotros? Nursing mothers struggling for space? Persons with disabilities having to compete for seats and access? Workers and students standing for hours simply trying to get home?
And as a public official and a mother, when you see these realities, does it sit comfortably with you that Ghanaians are still waiting for promised improvements? Should we beg you? Should we raise you in a palanquin with pomp and pageantry?
You were able to take bloggers and the media along to show us the buses in Egypt. That publicity created expectations. We deserve the same transparency on delivery.
How many of the 300 buses have actually arrived? How many are operational? Where have they been deployed? What happened to the promised delivery schedule for the remaining buses?
Please give Ghanaians a clear update.
We are not asking for another photoshoot. We are asking for accountability.
Where are our buses?
As part of our collective efforts to strengthen Ghana’s transport sector, three hundred (300) ISUZU buses are set to arrive in the country. I was in Egypt on behalf of my boss, Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe, to undertake the final inspection. Together, we remain committed to delivering on the agenda set by H.E. President John Dramani Mahama for a better, more efficient Ghana.
