The Central Regional Minister, Madam Comfort Ama Benyiwa-Doe together with her National Democratic Congress (NDC) in that part of the country, last weekend donated a fresh American 208 Mercedes Benz car to the chief of the Ajumako Traditional Area, Okukudurofo Ogyabour Kwamina Ababio II.<\/p>\n

But minutes after the donation, the Regional Minister rammed the vehicle into equipment belonging to the Information Services Department, (ISD) creating a brief curtailment of the donation program.<\/p>\n

The donation of the 208 Mercedes Benz car, according to the Minister and her Central Regional NDC party faithful, was to thank the chief of the Ajumako Traditional Area for his industrious work and contribution to the area and the country at large towards the Better Ghana Agenda.<\/p>\n

The donation occurred over the weekend during the colourful celebration of Okukudurofo Ogyabour Ababio\u2019s golden jubilee anniversary which witnessed a large number of people from and outside the area.<\/p>\n

But drama unfolded at the durbar ground when after donating the car to the chief, the Minister herself, in an attempt to embark on a test drive, drove the car into the machines of the Information Service Department which had been mounted there, and thereby, breaking their information pole in the process. At the time of the unfortunate accident, the chief was with her in the car, and this halted the programme for some minutes during which Madam Benyiwa-Doe got out of the car to pave way for a driver to drive the chief in his new car to where he was sitting.<\/p>\n

The Minister has since denied claims that the car was bought by herself or the NDC party. Speaking to the Searchlight newspaper via telephone on Wednesday, she stated categorically that the American car was bought by the Member of Parliament for the Ajumako-Enyah Essiam, Hon. Cassiel Atto Forson but several attempts to reach the MP on the matter failed as his phone was off.<\/p>\n

According to Madam Ama Benyiwa-Doe, she only donated a Kente cloth and ten million old cedis to the chief. Following the donation of the car to the chief, some of the people gathered at the durbar ground to witness the event were overheard by the Daily Searchlight scouts expressing shock, saying that the donation will send a wrong signal to the people in the Central Region.<\/p>\n

According to them, donating a car to one chief at the expense of the rest of the chiefs will result in divisions among them. \u201cWe don\u2019t know what Okukudurofo has done to merit this car award. It is definitely going to bring division among the chiefs and to an extent their elders and people,\u201d some of the people said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
