Mahama not remorseful over Ford gift saga – PPP
Progressive People’s Party (PPP), is livid over
what it says is President Mahama’s failure to
accept responsibility for his decision to accept a
Ford expedition from a Burkinabe contractor,
ostensibly to influence him.

Mahama on Thursday, gave further clarifications
on his decision to accept the gift saying, “I
don’t use Ford, I don’t like American cars. I
use Japanese cars. Toyota is my car.”

His comments came a day after he challenged
persons accusing him of being bribed by the
contractor, to head to the court if they had
issues with his decision. “If you believe I have
involved myself in corruption, you have the
constitutional means to do whatever you want to
do,” he said.

Speaking on Eyewitness News, Policy Advisor for
the PPP in a sharp rebuttal to the President’s
latest explanation, said the President’s
comments shows that he is not remorseful for his
actions.

“The President is not showing remorse and he is
unrepentant. We believe that the president’s
comment is a blow to the fight against corruption.
He adopted his usual attitude of passing of the
buck in matters that needed his direct
intervention.

“His Excellency has demonstrated a lack of
commitment to the principle of accepting
responsibility for his own actions and that of his
government. President Mahama has no remorse and is
unrepentant, “he said in a statement.

Mr. Siaw believes the President is “emboldened
by the absence of strong state institutions with
the capacity and willingness to deal with
infractions occasioned by members of the
executive.”

“In this instance, the Parliament of Ghana or
some members of parliament are refusing to
undertake their constitutional duty to initiate or
support the call for impeachment proceedings
against the President for gross misconduct and a
violation of article 284.

The parliament of Ghana is empowered under
article 69 of the constitution to initiate
impeachment proceedings against the President,”
he added.

He further indicated that, the PPP will organize
a demonstration at Parliament House to press home
their demands for the President to be impeached if
he is not sanctioned for his actions.

“We expect members of Parliament to live up to
their responsibilities and establish timeless
principles in our governance processes.

The PPP will organize a demonstration at
Parliament house if the impeachment process is not
activated shortly.”
