The President has 10 days after the date of the receipt of the letter to give his response, sources at CHRAJ told the Daily Graphic.
The letter, dated July 7, 2016, is in line with the (Investigations Procedure) Regulations, 2010 (CI) 67.

Many anti-corruption campaigners slammed the president for what they describe as his disregard for the guidelines on conflict of interest in accepting the vehicle gift.
However, Government in a statement issued by Communications Minister, Edward Omane Boamah said even though the car was received, it had nothing to do with the contract awarded.
President John Mahama subsequentlyrubbished corruption allegations against him, saying such claims are baseless.
He also indicated that he is aware that some Ghanaians have petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), over the matter, and he will respond to it soon.
