Bawku Central Member of Parliament has revealed he only corroborated bribery allegation claim made by Accra-based Radio Gold.
According to him, he had assumed the GH¢3000 given to him by Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak was their allowance only to hear it was bribe from Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko.
Hon. Mahama Ayariga made the comment when he appeared before the Joe Ghartey Committee to answer questions on the bribery allegations that has rocked the Appointments Committee of Parliament.
When asked by the Committee whether he had evidence apart from the rumour that Boakye Agyarko had paid bribes, Mr Ayariga said “my interview and comments on bribery were based on what Muntaka told us”.
Committee member: Do you still believe that Agyarko brought money to be influenced?
"There are facts that Minority chief whip asked that we should come for money. We took the money and later returned it upon hearing the rumour that it was a bribe. It is a fact that we asked Muntaka to investigate the matter".
Committee member: It is also a fact that you had no basis to confirm the allegations of bribery against Agyarko?
Ayariga: That is why we asked the Minority Chief to investigate the matter.
When asked whether he had spoken to Energy Minister, he said “I have never in my life spoken with him, never. The first time I was seeing him physically as a politician and as somebody who goes on air and also on television and on radio was when he appeared before the committee. [That] was the first time I was physically engaging him”.

So by your logic of confirming an alleged bribery, it means that,Radio Gold now has the evidence and not you Ayariga. May God have mercy on you...
What a weak logic! You should be penalized for this! You are evil and society should be watchful of you. My Goodness, what a terrible man!
And this is the guy who goes round bragging every one must sing to him at his call because he obtained a Master degree from Obama university, Harvard? Seriously? He has to be probed of this. I think he didn't study in that university but some mushrooms school with plagiarised name of Harvard What a weak logic and he thinks everyone thinks the same way. Who supervised his so called master thesis? I want to read his thesis. Complete disgracee to your advisor of your thesis, class mates, family, Ghanaian parliament, constituency and NDC party. Big Disgracee, If I were him, would commit suicide. He has no honor at all
This ***barred word*** parading as an MP used to be a minister? No wonder why Mahamah administration failed to fair miserably. This a so called MP with masters degree of law from Columbia University but couldn't differentiate rumour from a fact; is he a lawyer at all? Was he blinded by ANAAPOLISTIC SYNDROME? He should be impeached and bootted out of parliament because he lacks common sense period. Even a serial caller would not commit this elementary blunder. Where is the truth you been talking about? You are disgrace to Ghana parliament, Ghana Bar Association, Columbia University, and Ghana as a whole. Shame on you. How could this ++++1D101T+++++ be appointed as minister? NPP has a supper majority in the house and could out vote you guys anytime; why should any of their nominees pay the minority members in the appointment committee bribe to get their candidates to be confirmed? You lack the minimum common sense to be an MP; please, step down and save us the agony of your ++++STUP1+++++DITY''''+.
A product from Havard University? Well, that's the junior brother of Hassan Ayariga
Ayariga, you confirmed with what evidence? You are a lawyer they say with a tint in Havard. Seriously?
"I can't think far". Somebody give me a word to describe this guy.
LOOK AT THIS STU..PIDIT..Y.THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE PUNISH FOR WASTING OUR TIME.THAT'S WHY YOUR WIFE LEFT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WEALTH IT.
These rascals in parliament need to be punished for wasting everyones time. What a shame!
Mr. Ayariga, you are indeed a disgrace to this country, to yourself, to your family and to the community you represent. You must be ashamed of yourself. God will punish you.
