In July 2018, the first batch of 100 minibusses out of a total of 275, said to have been purchased by the NPP for commercial purposes, under the leadership of Freddie Blay arrived in the country.
The promise of the delivery of 275 buses, according to him, was to facilitate the work of the various constituencies across the country.
Lawsuit against Freddie Blay buses
When the buses arrived, Kelliot Royal Motors dragged the Universal Merchant Bank (UMB) to an Accra High Court in a bid to block the distribution of 100 buses.
Kelliot Royal Motors avers in his writ that he secured a loan facility in excess of $3 million to procure the buses for onward sale to the party on May 13, 2018.
