Under this particular administration, certain things have been normalized and the carrying of a presidential seat in a separate Lexus or V8 vehicle is nothing to sneeze at. Irrespective of the distance the vehicle travels or the fuel it consumes, the chair is transported to every event the president attends with a police escort.
Many simply can’t wrap their heads around this issue and Randy Abbey the morning show host of “Good Morning Ghana,” has raised some concerns. The gentleman was baffled at the answers given by the representative of the government who tried to justify the whole issue.
Dr. Kabiru Mahama stated that the transportation of this chair is in line with security protocol because the president is sovereign and people shouldn’t make a fuss about it. He added that it is the standard for every president.
Randy Abbey enquired once again that if true that is the standard, why isn’t it applicable outside Ghana.?The answer to his question was that systems differ and the recent visit of the President of the United States to Britain was a clear example of how protocol mandated that he uses his fleet, unlike African Presidents who were bussed to the event.
“This doesn’t mean Joe Biden is living a luxurious lifestyle. That’s their system in place to protect the president to some extent,” Kabiru concluded.
