The office of former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has denied receiving GH¢ 14 million as ex-gratia payment in 2013.

This follows Bono Regional Chairman omaf the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC’s claims.

“We urge the public to ignore the unintelligent rants of the said Kwame Baffoe who has gained notoriety for fabricating and propagating falsehood on behalf of Nana Akufo–Addo against John Mahama. His claims are false.”

‘ President Mahama never took any such ex-gratia payment of GH¢ 14 million in 2013 or at any other time during his 25 years of distinguished public  service. Fortunately, ex-gratia payments are a matter of public record  …………………………………………….’.

In a statement signed by the Special Aide to the former President, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, it was stated that “It will be surprising if any such payment had been made to the former President and has not been reflected in any of the numerous Auditor General’s reports presented to Parliament since 2013”

The statement as dared the Chief of Staff and the Presidency to provide proof to the said payment.

“We challenge the office of the Chief of Staff and the Presidency to provide proof of the payment of any such amount and stop using idle miscreants among its ranks to spread falsehood.”
