Indexing government scandals one at a time
President John Dramani Mahama has directed the immediate recall of Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed from his post as Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria following allegations of voter inducement during the National Democratic Congress Ayawaso East parliamentary primary.
It follows controversy surrounding the Ayawaso East Constituency primary in which Mr Baba Jamal contested and emerged winner.
In various media interviews, some voters admitted receiving television sets from a contestant. On his part Baba Jamal in a media interview he saw nothing wrong with giving out gifts and said this is not the first time he was giving out gifts. And that on numerous occasions, he has given out gifts and therefore, if he gave out gifts on Saturday, there was nothing wrong with that.
