Joe Ghartey chairs committee for investigating corruption
The Speaker of parliament Mike Ocquaye has constituted a five-member committee to look into the corruption allegation made by some members of the minority in parliament.
Mahama Ayariga said on Accra-based Radio Gold that the Energy Minister Agyarko sent money to the minority side in an attempt to influence their decision on his approval after he was vetted for the position.
The NDC Member of Parliament said they (the minority) received the money thinking it was sitting allowance for being part of the Appointments Committee only to be told it was coming from the minister designate.
He said they rejected the money and asked that the money be returned to him.
But the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joe Osei Owusu, subsequently denied this allegation and described it as “illogical and ill-motivated” on the floor of parliament.
The members of Special Committee are:
1. Joe Ghartey (Chair)
2. Ben Abdallah
3. Ama Pomaa Boateng
4. Amoatey Kofi Magnus
5. B. T Baba
