The Minister in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has explained why President John Dramani Mahama received a car gift before returning it to the state.

He clarified that the cars were offered by two businesses that were introducing and marketing their new battery-powered automobiles, and they recognized that the President's prominence may be a calculated move to link their brand to the president.

Hon.

Felix Ofosu Kwakye stressed that the President did not require the cars because the state has supplied for him in full; yet, the President complied with the law's demand that gifts over a specific amount be returned.
