According to him, the car was an old car which he had used for nine years.

A list revealing 70 former government appointees who bought state vehicles prior to the exit of erstwhile Kufuor administration on January 7 2009 circulated on social media on Monday.

Nana Akomea in a Facebook post on Monday, February 14, 2017, said "This official car offered me was a nine-year-old (S reg) Skoda Octavia, which l was given as official car in 2001, and which l used for 9 years. That GHC800 in August 2008 was equivalent to eight hundred dollars ($800)".

His statement follows claims by the government that over 200 vehicles have gone missing at the Flagstaff House.

Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin in an eralier interview said "President Akufo Addo is currently using a 2007 BMW model purchased by the state during the Ghana @50 celebrations...That is what he is using. So where are the cars?" he questioned.

But Nana Akomea said he found it strange that the very same valuations presented by the State Transport Corporation (STC) in 2000 and 2016 on State vehicles bought by the NDC were accepted as value for money but rejected in 2008.
