Today in History: Don’t come near my government if you want to make money – Akufo-Addo
In 2016, President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo warned his prospective appointees, against any thoughts of stealing monies from the national coffers to enrich themselves.
He stressed that persons who are yearning to hold positions in his government with the intentions of pilfering money will be disappointed as that attitude will not be condoned.
“I’ve said it and I’ll repeat it again, those who are coming into this administration thinking that there’s an avenue for making a lot of money are going to be disappointed”, President Akufo-Addo noted.

Four years after an attempt by the government to introduce a nationwide towing service fizzled out, the problem of breakdown vehicles on our roads remains a major threat to the safety of road users.
While many vehicles break down on the highways, such as Accra-Winneba, Accra-Kumasi, Tarkwa-Bogoso-Ayafuri, the Tema Motorway and Kumasi-Tamale, there is no efficient towing mechanism in place to clear them, as required by law.

The Daily Graphic has been monitoring the highways between June and December this year, and with nine days to Christmas, has still observed that some of the abandoned vehicles had been on the roads for more than a month.
