Former Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku, Bernard Okoe Boye has noted that for the sake of his constituents, he opted for a pickup instead of a V8 when he received his car loan.
According to him, the people had explained to him that V8, with tinted glasses and police bodyguards were a put off and therefore he tried to avoid that.
“That is why I did not go in for V8 with my car loan, I got a pickup and it was transparent. In fact, when I started using it, all four windows were transparent, but break-ins were happening because people could see what was in the car, so it was the back glasses that were tinted, so when I am driving, you see me.
“That is why I was not chauffeured because they made comments like, you see them (MPs), there is a policeman around. That is why I never had any police, I just made sure for security reasons, I had a friend by me at any time,” he stressed.
