    Ghana is being milked to nothing. People are looking at the gift but forgets that, the fence wall should probadly cost about $60000.

  • Sappey-Agboh -Tsiame-Alagbokope. 7 years ago

    The contract was opened for bidding by open tender. Three different firms put in a bid and the one that won the contract provided the lowest possible cost. Therefore, if cost the tax payer $600,000, I agree it's a lot but it ...

  • AMARIYA 7 years ago

    The cost was overblown that is why the bank of Ghana raised red flag.

  • Charles 7 years ago

    My understanding is that it was to secure the Land. The wall need only have been temporary pending the construction of a building on it. At $600000 for a wall, how much was the building going to cost?

  • otanga 7 years ago

    what is wrong with GH is the vehicle too expensive for JDM to afford? What kind of dirty politics is this? I am completely amazed at our level of thinking, so every gift is now classified as bribe

  • BATURE 7 years ago

    A gift from a contractor to a President who approves or awards contracts is nothing but a bribe. It is never the same as a gift from the Presidency of Libya to the Presidency of Ghana. Even dead goats know this.

    No State official can accept a gift from a contractor who is bidding for a State contract!!!
    That is a conflict of interest

  • Paa 7 years ago

    A thief will forever be a thief even if he has billions in his account. How can a president receive this kind of gift when you have the money to afford it and even more. Mahama is a Kleptomaniac

  • Manchester 7 years ago

    The minority should not bother with any impeachment because the president accepted the bribe when he was a dead goat. As a human being, Mahama has not tasted the apple.

  • Tony 7 years ago

    Any President is allowed to accept gifts but that gift should be declared on their income tax return and all taxes paid. Anything else is leaving open for speculations of corruption.
