Member of Parliament [MP] for Lower Manya Krobo, Hon. Ebenezer Okletey Terlabi has challenged President Akufo-Addo to make known items he received during the campaign period and not only when he has become president if he really wants to show total transparency.
“I am saying this because I know every human being despite his/her position is not 100% upright, therefore I believe it will not be right for members of the ruling party to conclude that President Akufo-Addo is incorruptible for refusing a GH¢500,000 Christmas Hamper offered to him by an unnamed corporate organization,” he said.
He added, “I can’t say the president accepted the gift or not but we [Ghanaians] should stop pretending because nobody, not even the wife of the president can prove with evidence to me that the president when flagbearer or all his life has never received a gift or an item known to be a gift to him personally.”
However, on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ political show, the New Patriotic Party [NPP] MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri constituency, Hon. Frank Annor-Dompreh rubbished his comments indicating that he was not surprised President Akufo-Addo rejected gifts meant for him as Christmas gift because he knows the caliber of person he is.
“ . . But how would a president who before appointing his ministers warned that any minister who has in mind thoughts of amassing wealth in his tenure of office should be ready to face the laws of the land; would he not set good examples for them [minister] to follow?” Hon. Annor-Dompreh asked.

Why should Nana Akufo disclose gifts he received as a private citizen? As a law maker I expect this MP to know better. He should wise up' When ex President Mahama received the Ford Vehicle from the Burkinabe contractor, did he inform anybody? Clear from there you MP. Did you disclose anything to anybody when you went behind your wife?
Good idea but first disclose all financial deals involving (P)NDC and her administration from 1981 to date.

Is this MP normal? What did he say about John Mahama's Ford gift? Now that he is in opposition he has suddenly found his voice. Hypocrisy and dishonesty.
This is propaganda and a concocted story. Why is the prove? Which company brought the gift? Do you mean there was only one attempted Christmas Hamper presentation to Akufo-Addo for Christmas??? If the story is true then what happened to the order gifts. We will not buy into this cooked up propaganda story.
