Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has taken strong legal steps against New Patriotic Party (NPP) commentator P.K.
Sarpong, demanding an immediate retraction and public apology over claims that he received a luxury Lexus vehicle as a gift in breach of a new presidential directive.
Sarpong, in a Facebook post, alleged that George was seen using a "top-of-the-range, unregistered Lexus" purportedly gifted to him by an undisclosed individual.
He suggested the gesture violated President Mahama's recently introduced Code of Conduct for public officials, which restricts the acceptance of high-value gifts to prevent conflicts of interest.
