The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) will soon institute a probe into the Buick Riveira Coupe Saloon car gift saga which The Crusading Guide newspaper published in its February 21-27 edition. The thrust of the SFO’s probe will be directed at the possibility of abuse of office for personal profit involving the car gift. In the story it was stated that Masai Motors Limited, with Mr. Eddie Annan as Chief Executive, gave the car to ex-President Rawlings as a gift. Eddie Annan had maintained that the vehicle was given to the former First Lady, Mrs. Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings. He had earlier told Kwaku Sakyi Addo on Joy FM’s popular FRONTPAGE programme that he had given two cars to Mrs. Rawlings and Mrs. Sati Ocran.
