Press Release

June 16, 2016

PRESIDENT MAHAMA MUST RESIGN

As Ghanaians, we are totally embarrassed by the
misconduct of the President and demand his
immediate resignation.

The President has breached his own code of ethics
for Ministers and other Public Appointees.

The President has breached the Public Procurement
Act.

The President has breached the Commission on
Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ)
Guidelines on Conflict of Interest.

The President has breached the 1992
Constitution.

The President has breached his own Oath of office
and is therefore no longer fit to hold himself as
a worthy leader of our country.

There is no way the President can absolve himself
from this mess. It’s interesting that the year
Mr. Djibril Kanazoe, the Burkinabe contractor,
gave a Ford Expedition to the President was the
very year he won the Jericho wall contract.

President Mahama has breached his own code of
ethics which states that gifts that are to be
accepted without any conditions should not exceed
200 cedis or 50 dollars. The said vehicle is
within the range of 100,000 dollars.

We are of the same opinion of Mr. Daniel Batidam,
the Advisor on Governance at the Office of the
President who in answering a hypothetical question
in this issue said that the President should have
known better and that any responsible leader would
not need to be advised on that.

The advice the president would certainly need
from Mr. Batidam is that he, the president, should
honour the words of his oath and resign.

Head of Finance and Administration
