If You Won’t Drive Your V8, Sell It And Share The Money To The Poor – Madina MP Told
Managing Director for the Accra Digital Center, Kofi Owusu Nkansah has urged lawmaker for Madina Constituency, Francis Xavier-Sosu to sell his V8 and share the proceeds to the poor in his area.
His comment comes after the Member of Parliament claimed he is unable to drive his V8 because of poverty in his constituency.
He said he prefer to drive his small car and has even requested to return the V8, however, that request has been denied.
“I don’t use V8, I have been given but when I look at the level of poverty in my community, I don’t feel right driving V8 around. Honsetly I don’t feel right. So it is parked. I have been given but it is parked. I have my small vehicle which the police attempted to destroy yesterday,” he said in respect to a failed arrest on Monday, October 25, when he led a section of his constituents to protest over poor nature of roads in parts of the constituency.
“I actually requested if I could (return it) but they said I couldn’t…. I requested, if I didn’t, I would have said so, I actually requested… in fact I even wanted to take the money so that I can invest it so that I use it to support some of the social projects…” he added.
However, Kofi Nkansah believes it would be prudent if the MP rather sells the vehicle and share the money than pack it somewhere.
