“Our ultimate goal is to find out the whole truth surrounding the Ford gift saga- we want CHRAJ to establish whether there was an actual conflict of interest in terms of the president accepting the gift; also we would like CHRAJ to establish the kind of gifts that public officials can accept while in office\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
