Accra To London Road Trip: Wanderlust Says They Considered Kantanka In Order To Showcase Ghana-Made Vehicles

• Since the news of thirteen Ghanaians driving from Accra to London broke, one thing that has come up is why they did not use Kantanka
• A team member, Richard Anim, has explained why they could not use a Ghanaian-made car even though they love to promote locally-made items
• He said they reached out to the made-in-Ghana car manufacturing company but there was no response from them

A team member who participated in the Accra to London road trip has explained why they contacted Kantanka Automobile Company Limited.

However, all attempts made by the Wanderlust team to contact Kantanka Automobile Company Limited proved futile.
