bbc article 2009.Pres Atta Mills
updated at 16:47 GMT, Thursday, 24 December 2009. Source: news.bbc.co.uk Ghana president spurns 'corrupting' Christmas gifts John Attah Mills. John Atta Mills has vowed to stamp out corruption Ghanaian President John Atta Mills is refusing to accept Christmas presents this year because he fears they may be intended to corrupt him. Sending hampers of food and gifts to people in authority is a Christmas tradition in the African country. But Mr Atta Mills's spokesman said the president felt it was better not to accept them in case the givers were seeking something in return. Mr Atta Mills was elected in 2008 on a promise to fight corruption. "Some people bring the gifts and their motives are genuine," presidential spokesman Mahama Ayariga told the BBC's Focus on Africa. "Others, perhaps, just want to establish a relationship that would, in a sense, influence decisions that you might have to make in the coming year that relate to their interests. "So you cannot really differentiate in terms of the different motives that people bring to this gift-giving exercise." The spokesman added that the gifts would be better enjoyed by the country's underprivileged, such as children at orphanages.

THE OMINOUS FACT THAT THE CONTRACTOR INITIALLY DENIED EVER GIVING PRES MAHAMA A CAR SUGGEST HE GAVE IT WITH ILL MOTIVE. ALSO IF MAHAMA DIDNT WANT IT HE WILL HAVE INSTRUCTED THE GHANA AMBASSADOR TO KEEP IT FOR THE GHANA MISSION USE IN BURKINA OR DONATED IT TO CHARITY IF HE FELT RETURNING IT IS NOT COURTEOUS. ALSO DURING THE TENDER OF THE SECOND CONTRACT THEY FAILED TO INFORM THE EU PARTNERS THE BURKINABE HAD GIFTED MAHAMA A CAR. AND HOW DID THE BURKINABE LIVING IN BURKINA GET TO KNOW THERE WAS AN IMPENDING ROAD PROJECT IN GHANA? ENOUGH OF THE COCK N BULL EXPLANATIONS

He is consulting his apio shrine to guide him through this. He and his loud mouth buddies know their defense will not fly this time around so they're hiding in their shells until kingdom come.

The Late General Ankrah lost his job after he was found to have taken a bribe from a foreigner and issued a receipt as gentleman. So please a head of state has documented his bribe taking in Ghana before. JDM is the second

The case narrated over here is far from bribery and corruption.His Excellency deducated His personal gift to the Country.Is that not enough to show this case is baseless ?
