According to the Vice President, the decision to purchase the cars was an easy one, given the advantages from owning a wholly locally-made cars, including its affordability.
“It wasn’t a difficult decision at all, it was very easy. The cars have a certain quality. They compete favorably with the imported ones. They are also cheaper and there’s local availability of parts and expertise to fix them if there are any problems,” Amissah-Arthur said at a ceremony to hand over the vehicles at the Kantanka Automobile manufacturing plant site in the Central Region. Amissah-Arthur stated that, the acquisition of the cars demonstrated the Mahama administration’s continued commitment to promoting local entrepreneurs.
