Speaking in an interview with Rainbow Radio 87.5FM. Richard Nyaamah said "the President is a thief and corrupt. I will not retract my statement."
His comments comes on the heels of an investigative works conducted by Accra based JOY FM, Investigative journalist, Maneseh Azuri over a Burkinabe contractor who offered a controversial gift to President Mahama.
The Burkinabe contractor, Mr. Djibril Kanazoe reportedly dashed President Mahama the vehicle as 'kick back' for the $650,000 Ghana Embassy Fence wall contract awarded him.
But commenting on the issue, Richard Nyaamah said, the controversial gift can best be described as nothing but an act of thievery on the part of president Mahama.
According to him, the President's code of ethics for ministers and political appointees, gifts that are to be accepted without any conditions should not exceed GHc200 or $50, however, the controversial gift given President Mahama is worth over $100,000.
"The contention is that President Mahama is corrupt and a thief, that is what we are saying. Let me tell you. I will not refrain it. The President put up a code of ethics for ministers and political appointees, gifts that are to be accepted without any conditions should not exceed GHc200 or $50, however, the controversial gift given President Mahama is worth over $100,000. This is thievery. You say want ever you want to say," Mr. Nyaamah said.
