Ghana@50 probe: Jaguar car dealers to 'cough' $1.8m
Commissioners of the Ghana@50 hearing, have authorized the immediate payment of some $1.8 million debt owed government by Firlop Ghana Ltd, dealers in Jaguar cars.
The luxury car dealers bought back 35 slightly used Jaguars from Government from a total number of 40 they supplied for a successful organisation of the Ghana@50 celebrations in 2007, but have failed to make payments.
Managers of the company have attributed the failure to pay the debt to fall-outs from the transition which they say have made the vehicles unattractive to prospective buyers.
“In the course of the transition people have become apprehensive about the purchase of these vehicles,” one of the officials told commissioners at the Ghana@50 hearing on Thursday.
They have also attributed the failure to sell the plush vehicles to their seeming lack of judgement.
“These are luxury vehicles and it so happens that people who can afford a luxury vehicle want it brand new.”
