The Ford vehicle valued at $100,000 was provided by a Burkinabe contractor. The Burkinabe contractor Oumarou Djibril Kanazoe - a friend of President Mahama - was later awarded three government contracts but he rejected the last one after the issue was made public. Even though government has admitted the President received the vehicle, it has never failed to defend the action of the president. They say if former President John Kufuor was not impeached for flouting provisions of the Constitution, President Mahama should also be spared the noise in the media. Reacting to his comment, Mr Mensah-Bonsu says Mr Nketia followed his ignorance when he could have consulted the constitution to understand the action of the NPP.
