The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) says President John Dramani Mahama violated the code of conduct for public officers in accepting a Ford Expedition vehicle from Burkinabe contractor Djibril Kanazoe.
It said the vehicle is part of the gifts listed as prohibited from being accepted under the gift policy.
Nonetheless, CHRAJ emphasised, President Mahama’s action in accepting the gift did not amount to bribery.
These were contained in the conclusion reached by the Commission after the youth wing of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and an individual petitioned the state’s human rights institution over the foreign contractor’s gift to the Number One gentleman of the country.
