P.K. Sarpong, a popular writer affiliated with the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has claimed that a car driven by Honourable Samuel Nartey George, the Minister of Communications, Digitalisation and Innovation, was gifted to him by an unnamed individual.
He said a Range Lexus car being used by the Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament (MP) was a gift he received from someone.
P.K. Sarpong has added that, due to reasons best known to him, he is keeping the name of the person who gifted the vehicle to his chest.
Taking to his Facebook page, P.K. Sarpong noted that the recently launched Code of Conduct prohibit government officials from taking such gifts.
Taking to his Facebook page, P.K. Sarpong wrote, “Dear President John Dramani Mahama!
This top of the range Lexus your Minister for Communications, Sam Dzata George is driving is a gift from someone to him.
You recently launched a code of ethics for your appointees to stay away from such things.
I am keeping the name of the one who gifted him this Lexus to my chest for now.
Let me repeat, this unregistered Lexus your appointee is using is a gift to him!”
Code of Conduct
President John Dramani Mahama launched a comprehensive Code of Conduct for all political appointees under his administration, setting out strict ethical guidelines aimed at restoring integrity, discipline, and public trust in governance.
“If a gift is received during an official engagement and its estimated value exceeds GH¢20,000, it must be declared,” the President said. “And upon leaving office, the gift must be surrendered unless the President grants written permission for it to be retained.”
