Ernesto Yeboah, a youth leader of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), who initiated the petition that compelled the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), to investigate President Mahama\u2019s receipt of the Ford gift from a Burkinabe contractor, says the outcome of the probe\u00a0clearly shows that the President\u00a0cannot be trusted to protect the sanctity of the country’s laws and policies.<\/p>\n
CHRAJ in its report released on Thursday,\u00a0stated\u00a0that President John Mahama breached the gift policy<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, when he accepted the gift from a Burkinabe contractor as Vice President in 2012.<\/p>\n CHRAJ said the gift in question, formed part of acts prohibited under the ‘Gift Policy’ under the Code of Conduct, and that although the evidence shows that President Mahama subsequently surrendered the gift to the State, the action nonetheless contravened the gift policy.<\/p>\n It however noted that, it did not find the President guilty of bribery, fraud or conflict of interest.<\/p>\n
