He said that models of Kantanka vehicles have been given to high-level offices in Ghana for evaluation and feedback.

He said they did not find any faults with the vehicles but rather gave positive feedback and endorsements.

"The cars are durable. The Kantanka automobiles are used at the presidency, they are used by high-profile personalities like the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osie TuTu II. I even gave one of my pickup vehicles to John Dumelo for a month, and none of them have had any complains about the car." Kantanka Junior said.

Accra to London road trip: Wanderlust says they considered Kantanka in order to showcase Ghana-made vehicles

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

Richard Anim said they love to promote made-in-Ghana products and therefore thought it would be a good idea to showcase a Ghanaian-assembled car to the world.

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

Kantanka CEO said Wanderlust never reached out to him

However, the Kantanka CEO said on social media that he was unaware of such a great opportunity to promote his products. He added that heads would roll for this error.

“This is something I would have loved to be part of,” Nana Kwadwo Safo Jnr said in a tweet on Monday.

He added that no one contacted him about this historic trip.

Richard Osei Anim, however, holds a different viewpoint. He assured JoyNews that his staff could use correspondence to provide evidence to the contrary.
