The USA has charged TOR BOSS for bribery. Asante Berko in bribery scandal, lets see how this goes. The current an previous administrations are both cited so I am watching how these politicians will handle such matter which is not different from Airbus.
I have always questioned the relevance of parliament in recent times. This is not the first time they are grabbing the headlines for the wrong reasons. Double-salary, Ghana telecom sale ,PDS, just to name a few. The duty of parliament is to act as an independent institution of state to check the excesses of the executive but what do we see: a rubber stamp body which in almost all instances is simply and extension of the executive! And as if that is not embarrassing enough, they are now morphing into a notorious conduit for money laundering and bribery! This is so disgusting and they are just a drain on the taxpayers! They don't add any value to the democratic process but just another block in a beaurocratic set up to milk the state! We have had MPS in parliament broker deals which turn out to cost this country so much money. One scandal after the other which they just sit down and look on! We do not need parliament as a matter of fact! They are a group of corrupt bribe takers!
Can you please give us a link to your source so we can read it?
You said 17 people treated in the first paragraph then you came to the last paragraph to say 4 people treated.
