How many cars, houses and motorbikes have you taken to award these contracts to your cronies?

Mr President, have you ever taken a bribe?

President JDM answer: As a President, as a person or as a dead goat?

Journalist: As the Vice President

President JDM answer: I plead the fifth to avoid self incrimination.

For just a Ford Expedition a President can give such juicy contracts, I wonder if this man will not sell the whole country for $100 million.

Mahama himself have set a standard for the yardstick which gifts are acceptable or not acceptable to the public servant. place that side by side with this case and bring the judgement. Oh no Mahama must go.

Aow how can we be this naive, you think the President can stoop so low as to take this kind of car as bribe when he can get himself a better one? He does not really need it that is why he put it in the protocol pool. Check the facts well and you will realized that three companies submitted their bids and the government went in for the cheapest so where is the connection. Those making these allegations know the naivety of the people living in this country and were sure they could get the majority of us on their side which they have achieved. Lets wise up.

The "Mahama-Kanazoe car connection(MKCC)" saga of corruption is another example of the wantonnes of the corruption-riddled John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't that is deeply ingrained in the NDC party and gov't's outlook on governance and development.
I am more interested in the specific time i.e. day, day and month in 2012 when this criminally-minded enterprise of corruption lifted off and flew as high as a kite in this country under the eagle eyes and direction of John Dramani Mahama and his corrupt brigands. Was it after the Late Atta Mills went six feet under or when he had cause to institute and commission some enquiries into some issues of impropriety on the part of John Dramani Mahama in some deals which again John Dramani Mahama was the lead person?
Irrespective of this however, what has been revealed is, contrary to what one of Africa's most corrupt politicians and a very notorious election rigger who happens to be the General Sec. of the NDC party said to the effect that their John Mahama's NDC gov't's fight against corruption is unmatched, it has been revealed, John Dramani Mahama is on the verge of institutionalizing trans-border corruption and sleaze on the African continent.
It gets very dangerous when this same character goes ahead to say, they have a school where they intend to teach such irresponsible principles, policies and ideology of their party which has been proven to be one of looting and thievery, incompetence and corruption to members of our Ghanaian society who would most unfortunately be caught in the snare of such an ideology, such principles and such policies.
The current state of this country is proof positive the John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't is by far the most corrupt gov't yet since Ghana gained independence and Ghana is toast.
Can such a gov't led by John Dramani Mahama therefore lead this country? The obvious answer is a huge loud resounding no.
Ghana, prepare for CHANGE!!!.

The majority of the population of Ghana, live in rural villages and therefore, it should follow that our Head of State hails from a Village. If you think those born or living in Cities or Towns are anyway superior to those from Villagers you are an idiot.

One day a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on an exotic parrot called Ghana. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher. Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid - the fine bird was finally his! As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the Auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!" "Don't worry", said the Auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?"

Omane Boamah is saying that the car had become part of the Ghana government car pool. When the car was given to Mahama, why did he come out and announced that a car had been given to the government of Ghana and had been included in the car pool? That would have been accepted but not till this investigation had nailed the president of accepting the car which had compromised his position.

The man or contractor who donated the car said that he gave the car to the president and not the government of Ghana. Mahama is pure corrupt which is an undeniable fact.

Gifts to Heads of State from private individual outside of a sovereign nation is a common practise everywhere under the sun. NPP LISTEN! When the late Gen. Afrifa staged the successful coup that ushered in PP administration, the late Ivorian leader Houphuet Boigny gave the general a gift - a BRAND NEW BRITISH MADE JAGUAR SALON CAR for use. No Ghanian raised issues about the gift. What has changed now? NPP must be prepared to tuck their tails under their legs and disappear when they lose the impending general elections.

Ghanaians do you remember the bbc interviewer who ask John Mahama if he has ever taken bribes?the hesitation in answering the question was a clear admission but nobody had any prove,was the gift made public and did he give to the state or president Mahama?the president as the bbc interviewer if he received bribe as a president or an individual?so if as a president he took this as a gift then only God knows what he took as an individual.John Mahama if he has respect for the office of the president must resign now because Burkinafaso and the international community now sees him as a bribe taker,Omane Boamah is a shame to his ministry,if his job is not a reward then this guy must be sacked,what can can't our president but?its also a big disgrace to Ibrahim Mahama who has a private jet whiles his brother goes around taking gifts from contractors.

Mr Bentil, please don't jump the gun. You should have done your homework to apprise yourself to the fact that Ghanaian presidents, from Nkrumah through Acheampong, to JJ, Kuffuor and now Mahama have received gifts locally and international, and most of these have then been put to public use at one state institution or another. I remember that anytime JJ received any gifts in the former of animals, for example, he had them sent to children's homes or the military. There used to be a custom-made Ford minibus at the castle which was a gift to JJ, but was put to official use at the presidency. By the way, I did not see or hear you comment when an unidentified farmer claimed he refurbished the personal resident of President Kuffuor. Was that a bribe for something we are not made to know since the man's identity seems to be a mystery. Your bias seems to cloud your judgement. Please rise above the serial callers and commentators who view every issue with political lens and the desire to gain cheap political points. In any case I can bet my last cedi that John Mahama will triumph over all the evil machinations, because majority of the silent and good people of this country are wiser than you think. Have a good day!!!

Gen. Ankrah then Chairman of National Liberation Council was forced to resign for taking $18000.00 from Nzeribe, a Nigerian journalist. If Mahama took car from a B. Faso contrsctor in exchange for awarding questionable contracts to him, then the artivlr of impeachment must be set in motion. We need petition of at least 20000. Ghanaians to impeach him. He is uncontrolable.

It is not done in a serious democracy or business for clients to offer higher gifts to their. Pay masters it is called corruption but it is allowed if he offers a dinner, a breakfast. Why did the government accept. The offer it is a bad practice. But tell ben erphson to talk on relevant issues not parliamentary seats it is the headache of the people in that constituency. He is fond of doing that. Bad pollster.

It is shocking that people who are supposed to be educated do not see anything wrong with the president behavior. Mahama is corrupt.

OccupyGhana is no think Tank. OccupyGhana is a second cousin of the Danquah Institute, and both are illegitimate children of the NPP. These two organizations are NPP pipeleines for the spread of deceptions and lies.

You guys have no brains. Which president never received gifts? If you have nothing to do work to improve the economy with your big mouth.
