Nii Ayikoi Otoo, the man who chaired the Executive Assets sub-committee of the Transition Team has explained that questions regarding the said missing state vehicles should be directed at the “appointing authority.”
Former Deputy Minister of Communications in the NDC administration, Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu had suggested that Nii Ayikoi Otoo held the key to unraveling the mystery surrounding the "missing" cars since he took physical inventory of all the vehicles handed over to the new government.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu had told Accra based Class FM that Nii Ayikoi Otoo and a gentleman called Elvis Omane Agyei, should be speaking on the matter, since they were taken round to where the vehicles were.
“For instance, I was given a Toyota Avensis, which I used as Deputy Minister of Communications. It came from the Office of the President but it was given to me through the transport officer at the Ministry of Communications, so, when I was leaving, I parked it at the Ministry of Communications. If the Office of the President requires it, it will call for it."
He said some of the vehicles were with the Judicial Service, some with agencies like the Ghana AIDS Commission, which operates under the Office of the President and others are at the regional coordinating councils.
He told the radio station that Nii Otoo’s committee were taken round to physically inspect each of these vehicles and that, they were also taken to a place called Point Six, which is the name given to a place where broken down or un-serviceable vehicles belonging to the presidency are kept, and they took physical inventory of these vehicles.
Responding in a Facebook post, Nii Ayikoi Otoo who was a former Attorney General said:
“My attention has been drawn to numerous reports about missing cars with the media expecting me to disclose what my Committee discovered.
"Yes I was Chair of the Executive Assets Sub Committee of the Transition Team."
"My Sub Committee did our work within our remit or Terms of Reference and presented three reports, an Interim, Final and a Sequel to the final report."
"Having presented the reports, I do not think it's appropriate for me to discuss the contents thereof in the media without authorization."
"Kindly, therefore direct all queries to the appointing authority. I thank you for your understanding!!"

I GOT ANGRY WITH AYIKOI OTOO WHEN KWAKYE OFOSU REFERRED TO HIM ON MISSING CARS SAGA. BUT HE HAS PROVEN TO BE MATURED AND GOOD EXAMPLE TO MANY IN GHANA. EVERYBODY IN GHANA CANNOT BE KWESI PRATT OFOSU KWAAKYE OR KOKU ANYIDOHO. HE WAS FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL AND HE RESPECTS THE RULE OF LAW. EVERY ISSUES OF GOVERNANCE MUST NOT BE RELINQUISH TO THE MEDIA TO BE DECIDED ON THE PUBLIC FORUM. POLITICS MUST BE GUIDED BY PROFESSIONALISM. WHY SHOULD PEOPLE WHO CANNOT WORK OUT 5X?+6-13=37 SHOULD BECOME MASTERS OF ALGEBRA IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. IT APPEARS NOW IN GHANA THAT EVERYBODY IS A POLITICIAN AND CAN HOLD ANY POST IN THE COUNTRY. WE SHOULD ALLOW MATURITY TO GUIDE OUR DECISIONS AND UTTERANCES. AYIKOI OTOO HAS SHOWN A CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND KWAKYE OFOSU.
This is wisdom talking not the NDCs childs play😂
This Ayikoi Otoo character and his cohorts of incompetence Inc. is why the country bleeds. Totally devoid of tact and incapable of arguing a case on merit. He only specialises in begging in court for his clients and takes the leniency from judges as accomplishments. The Government should, as a policy start ridding itself of such "***barred word***". Time to move on and leave the joy riders behind.
You call this mature responses? The man is peeved that he has not been given any appointment hence this cheeky response. He is indirectly telling you to go and ask nana Addo, and you call this matured. If any car was missing per his report, he would have said yes or no and tell you to go for the details at the presidency.
MATURED
Roce Koran, am convinced u have problem with English. read what the matured well natured lawyer said we'll before u come out childishly again

thanks Mr Otoo, hence no car is missing. Mr Otoo pls tell your NPP to stop the mischief, Ghanaians are smarter than what politicians think. Its only the illiterate NPP supporters who would believe such crass propaganda.
