Outrageous: Ghana Gov’t Spends Ghc310m Each On Posters For Re-branding 116 MMRT Buses!

Government has spent about Ghc3,649,044.75 on the Re-branding of 116 buses for the Metro Mass Rapid Transit (MMRT) imported to improve the transport system in the country. Re-branding for each of the buses cost Ghc31,457.28, leading to a total of Ghc3,649,044.75 for the 116 buses.
Tthe Minority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu quoted figures from the 2015 annual report on the Petroleum Funds. Contributing to the debate to approve the 2016 annual budget estimates of the Ministry of Transport yesterday, Mr. Mensah-Bonsu said the Ghc31,457.28 for each bus is too huge and cannot be tolerated. But the Transport Minister, Dzifa Ativor in her response to the claim by the Minority Leader said she did not have the details of the re-branding at hand and promised to make it available to the House at a later date.
