Ghanaian Transport Minister resigns over re-branding scandal

The Minister of Transport Dzifa Attivor has resigned over the bus re-branding saga. Government’s decision to spend a whopping GHC 3.6 million on re-branding 116 buses has angered many Ghanaians, with the majority questioning how that outrageous expenditure could be approved under the watch of the President.
Her resignation comes barely a day after a report was presented to the Chief of Staff; Mr. Julius Debrah, following an investigation he demanded into the controversial contract. 
A statement signed by the Minister’s Personal Assistant, Egypt Kobla Kudoto, to confirm her resignation said “Hon. Mrs. Dzifa Attivor, Minister of Transport wishes to inform the good people of Ghana that , as the Minister with oversight responsibility for the activities of the Metro Mass Transit (MMT)”.
“She has tendered in her resignation as Minister due to the current issues surrounding the branding of the 116 buses.” “She further wants to take the opportunity to thank her party for the opportunity offered her to serve, first as a Deputy Minister of Transport under the late John Evans Atta Mills, and later as the Substantive Minister".
