Speaking to Accra-based Citi FM Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu said he was surprised when he heard of the recall.

“When I heard from the grapevine that Parliament was being summoned, I was taken a bit aback, especially when there had not been any prior consultations or discussions on the issue with my humble self. Be that as it may, I had to come down.”

Some sections of Ghanaians expressed anger over reports that President Mahama was given a brand new Ford Expedition in 2012 by a Burkinabe contractor, Djibril Kanazoe who won the bid to construct the $650,000 Ghana Embassy Wall in the Burkina Faso capital, Ouagadougou.

Some minority MPs have reportedly signed a petition to commence an impeachment process against the President for accepting the gift.
