Felix Kwakye Ofosu told host of Joy FM's Super morning Show Kojo Yankson the Minority's motion was filed with a motive that was less honorable, tainted with mischief and propaganda. The Deputy Minister also vehemently defended president John Mahama's integrity in the controversial Ford gift scandal but will not explain why the gift he received in 2012 was cleared another man's name. The president received the vehicle from the Burkinabe contractor Djibril Kanazoe who later became a beneficiary of three government contracts. Why shouldn't he pay duties?
