Three National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs being led by Mahama Ayariga have petitioned the Speaker of Parliament Mike Oquaye over an alleged bribery scandal against the Appointments Committee.
The other two are Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and Alhassan Suhuyini – MPs for North Tongu and Tamale North respectively.
Both Alhaji Mubarak and Osei-Owusu have denied the allegations although Mr. Ayariga insists there was exchange of hands.
“We jointly request you to carry out an internal enquiry into the veracity of the claims made by us in the allegation of attempted bribery of the Minority Members of the Appointments Committee of Parliament by a ministerial nominee,” the trio signed in a joint petition to the Speaker.
Below is the full petition:

If Okudzato , Suyini and Ayariga have decided to humiliate themselves, who cares? Which rational person will believe this comedy of lies. I am that that llame and ddumb to buy into this lies.
So if somebody is not talking on social platform then he is quilty. Ronie or whatever you call yourself you thinking is very shallow. Serious thinking is required and not just writing for writing sake.
The truth shall surely come out. As for Suhuyini he should watch his ways. Some of us know how he "bribed" his way through becoming the SRC president for GIMPA when he knew his other contender would have easily floored him. Beware because what goes round comes round and every closet has a skeleton.
The NDC had a meeting to tag Nana Addo's Government with Corruption within first 100 days in the office. This is really on course for them able supported by Kwesi Pratt the man with no wisdom. Not surprise that Okudzato choosed Nii Lantey as witness because he knows credible ones as Muntaka won't fall forthis. But the secrete is out because you guys are not smart enough hence the use of vetting angle. Any Ghanaian brains can tell that NDC minority could not in a million years stop Agyarko from becoming the minister so where lies the wisdom to bribe? It's a big lie and it won't hold. Mr Sharp Teeth Okudzato is being pushed with this but what he's forgetting is that he's with Woyome in the loot and share activity. Ab3n B3 Bom.
I am attempted to believe the Minority because Agyarku has gone underground. I have not heard him on any platform denying his involvement. By their fruits, we shall know them
Are these members ready to resign after it is found out that they are deliberately doing this? After the investigation there should be a punitive measure taken. The energy minister, the head of appointment committee, the minority chief whip and the members making the allegation. Some of them have to resign or they should be fired. Can we all put party affiliations aside and do the right thing.
