The office of former President John Dramani Mahama has reacted to the allegation that he took GHS14 million as ex-gratia in 2013.
In a statement, the office of the former President says the allegation by the NPP Bono Regional chairman popularly known as Abronye DC is just unintelligent rant fabricated to spread falsehood.
“The Office of HE John Dramani Mahama has become aware of another false and scurrilous claim by a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, that former President Mahama "... took home the fattest ex-gratia of GH14 million in 2013..."
“We urge the public to ignore the unintelligent rants of the said Kwame Baffoe who has gained notoriety for fabricating and propagating falsehood on behalf of Nana AkufoAddo against John Mahama. His claims are false,” a release signed by Joyce Bawah Mogtari who is Special Aide to John Dramani Mahama has said.
The Office of the former President stresses that John Dramani Mahama never took any such ex-gratia payment of GH14 million in 2013 or at any other time during his 25 years of distinguished public service.
Meanwhile, the office has challenged the office of the Chief of Staff and the Presidency to provide proof of the payment of any such amount and stop using idle miscreants among its ranks to spread falsehood.
