A video and pictorial evidence has gone viral of President John Dramni Mahama giving out something that is suspected to be money to some party supporters during a road campaign tour.
With the song of 'Mahama paper' blaring, the president John Mahama, standing in his open-top vehicle at Abossey Okai and swapping gentle waves and chants with traders from the sunroof of his vehicle, is seen handing out what looks like cash to market women.
The video which has gone viral was obviously shot with a phone by someone who seemed to have been monitoring proceedings from the balcony of a storey building.
Many have accused the president of ‘vote buying’ ahead of December 7, elections.
However, his Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah has debunked the claims saying the video could have been doctored.
Speaking to JOY FM, Julius Debrah emphatically stated that – the president under no circumstance carry money on him during such trips - therefore it is impossible that he could hand out cash to anyone.
“That is something people have not taken notice of, presidents don’t carry money around. I never knew until I got to the presidency,” he said.
Mr Debrah who is yet to see the circulated video also said that - “I believe sincerely that knowing President Mahama, he wouldn’t deliberately go to a market place and start throwing money around. He is a very experienced person.
“Having worked with him closely I believe that under no circumstance will he be throwing money around,” he stressed.
Adding that – “It is also possible that it could be a leaflet. Anytime the president walks he does not carry cash on him and that is the tradition from generation so I will be very very surprised if the president had cash on him."

Julius, dont you have a little respect for yourself and your children? Why do you lie in between your teeth? If your children are retold what you are saying today, will they be proud of you? I am getting personal since I think your comments are bringing shame to your entire family. Please respect yourself and say the truth for the sake of your children or JUST KEEP QUIET AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
SO ONLY GAR BAGES ARE IN DEBRA'S BIG HEAD.SORRY BUT IT SEEMS NDC IS FULL OF BLOCKHEADS AND DIMWITS.
desperate times calls for desperate measures. the man can not trust his babies with sharp teeth anymore to share our money so he has to do it himself and he was even selective.......if he likes he shd go take all the money at the bank of ghana and share he will still loose and hopefully we can send them to prison in 2017.
JULOR MAHAMA AND HIS NDC STEALING BRIGADE HAVE CHOPPED GHANA MONEY FOR 8 YEARS AND THEY WANT 4 MORE YEARS TO MAKE IT 12 AND CHOP MORE. HABAA! NO 12 YEARS FOR JULOR MAHAMA AND HIS NDC STEALING BRIGADE. MAHAMA MUST GO!!!
If you were among the few chopping the national cake wouldn't you have a whale-like face too?
ooooo my God!! i thought Ghana was above this shameful politics....the bright side is it means they are desperate...for the president himself to be handing out the bribe money...If they don't lose I will relinquish my Ghana passport.
See his whale-liked face.u$eless mammals in government
The president was surely given out money but not to masses, he was pointing to someone there even Nana Addo will do the same.
I said it! There is no single sensible person in this NDC party. Their competence is so low that they cannot even lie properly. Mahama doesn't carry money when he goes out but carries leaflets? And the leaflets were meant for specific people huh? Oh Julius Debrah! I tot you were sensible. Not knowing you are one of the 1diots. Your time is certainly up. Pathetic souls!
