The Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) says it’s about time Ghanaians sharpened the blurring line between what constitutes state events and political events.
Some Political Parties and civil society organizations have described President Mahama’s ‘Thank You Tour’ as abuse of incumbency which inures to the interest of the NDC.
The Progressive People’s Party has called for the full disclosure of the expenditure of the president’s tour to show whether the President is using state resource or not.
Legal Officer of GII, George Amoo speaking to XYZ News said incumbency abuse should not be tolerated and asked the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice to immediately begin investigations into the allegations.
“There are significant things that would bring these things out, what is the message that President is giving out, is it to benefit his interest to become the next President then he is into the remit of abuse of incumbency then we must all arise against it.
“We are also hearing allegations that he is busing people to where he is meeting them, these are all issues that call for investigations and I think that the Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice has the mandate to do this” Mr. Amoo said.
