The Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini is asking President Nana Akufo-Addo to suspend the nomination of Mr. Boakye Agyarko as the Energy Minister until investigations into the bribery accusations against him are concluded.
Mr. Suhuyini, along with two other Minority members of the Appointments Committee; Mahama Ayariga and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MPs for Bawku Central and North Tongu, have written to the Speaker of Parliament calling for a thorough investigation of the bribery claims against the Mr. Agyarko.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfasts Show, Mr. Suhuyini said the requested enquiry into the allegations would bring finality to the corruption allegations, but in the meantime, he insisted Mr. Agyarko’s nomination should be stayed.
“Mr. Boakye Agyarko, if you ask me; I think the President should stay his nomination and then after the enquiry… let’s all request the Speaker to do the needful by setting up whatever enquiry process and address the issues speedily and then take a decision.”
“Instead of us focusing on who is lying and who is telling the truth, let us push for the process to work. Let us understand the various angles and let us look at how finality can be brought to this matter. Finality to me can be brought to this matter through an enquiry that will establish the way forward,” the MP said.
The claims surfaced last Thursday with Mr. Ayariga accusing Mr. Agyarko of bribing the 10 Minority members of the Appointments Committee with GHc3,000 to pass him.
Mr. Ayariga alleged that the money was given to the Minority Chief Whip, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka by the Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Joseph Osei-Owusu for onward disbursement; a claim Mr Suhuyini and Mr Ablakwa both confirmed.
Although the Chief Whip and the Chairman have denied the claims, the three have insisted they were certain about the allegations.

SUHUYINI IS ILLOGICAL. HE WITH OTHERS ARE REQUESTING FOR INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER. AND WHEN THE PETITION IS NOT YET ACCEPTED AND INVESTIGATION IS NOT INITIATED HE HAS BECOME A JUDGE IN HIS OWN PETITION TO DEMAND THE SACKING OF HIS OPPONENT. HE SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIS THINKING. NO WONDER HE HAS CONFLICT WITH MANY IN PARLIAMENT WITH BARELY A MONTH OF HIS ADMISSION. BY THE WAY HE MUST KNOW THAT UNTIL THIS ALLEGATION OF BRIBERY IS RESOLVED HE IS A PARTY TO THE SCANDAL AND UNTIL THE SAGA IS RESOLVED HE IS A POTENTIAL CULPRIT AND MISCHIEVOUS LIAR. BY THE ASSESSMENT OF THE STORY THERE SEEMS TO BE ONLY A CASE BETWEEN AYARIGA WITH SUHUYINI AND ABLAKWA AGAINST MUNTAKA. OSEI OWUSU AND AGYARKO HAD NO COMMUNICATION OR CONTACT WITH AYARIGA AND HIS GROUP WHO ARE ALLUDING THAT MUNTAKA REFERRED TO OSEI OWUSU AND AGYARKO. MUNTAKA HAS DENIED THAT ALLUSION. AND CLAIM HE HAS NOT COLLECTED ANYTHING THROUGH OSEI OWUSU FROM AGYARKO. THE CLAIM OF AYARIGA GROUP DOES NOT GO BEYOND MUNTAKA. THE IGNORANCE OF SUHUYINA IS BETRAYED HERE. EVEN IF IT BECOMES TRUE THAT MUNTAKA GAVE ENVELOPS TO AYARIGA GROUP, IT DID NOT MEAN THAT THE ENVELOP CAME FROM AGYARKO THROUGH OSEI-OWUSU. I HAVE BEEN THINKING IF OSEI OWUSU OR AGYARKO SHOULD SUE AYARIGA AND GROUP FOR DEFAMATION. BUT LOOKING AT THE CASE AYARIGA AND GROUP DO NOT CLAIMED THAT OSEI OWUSU OR AGYARKO GAVE THEM ANYTHING BUT MENTIONED TO THEM BY MUNTAKA. NOW MUNTAKA HAS COME OUT STRONGLY THAT HE HAS NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM AGYARKO THROUGH OSEI OWUSU. CONSEQUENTLY AGYARKO AND OSEI OWUSU HAS NO CASE AGAINST MUNTAKA AND PERHAPS AGAINST AYARIGA GROUP, EXCEPT WHEN AYARIGA GROUP CONTINUE TO REFER TO THEM AGAIN AFTER MUNTAKA DENIAL OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT. IT IS THEREFORE ILLOGICAL, INSINCERE AND DISHONEST FOR SUHUYINI TO DEMAND FOR RESIGNATION OF AGYARKO. IN FACT SUCH A DIRECT REFERENCE TO AGYARKO BY SUHUYINI CAN LAND HIM INTO DEFAMATION CASE SINCE HE CANNOT HIDE BEHIND MUNTAKA ANY LONGER SINCE MUNTAKA HAS CATEGORICALLY DENIED RECEIVING ANYTHING FROM AGYARKO OR OSEI OWUSU.

Suhini is new in Parliament. He is barely a month in the house and instead of taking time to learn about parliamentary processes, he is busy showing arrogance. What level of intelligence is this? That just because some empty headed people like Suhini and Ayariga has made allegations, the president should hold back a nomination? The days of mediocrity in government is over. As you can see from the president's appointment, there is no space for mediocrity. Suhini shoudl learn fast and stop embarrasing himself on the vetting and in parliament in general. Is it inferiority complex or what?
So the objective is to see Agyarko out eh?Has he any question to answer, when the person they claim handed the money to them says he had not done that ?They have a case wirh Muntaka but not Agyarko . He is too hot for them to handle Like Messi in a team. NDC needs 5 defenders to handle him, yet he will score goals. Quashiaaasaaas!
SUHUYINI OR WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURSELF, GO TO HELL !!! YOU ARE AFRAID OF AGYARKO SO YOU WANT TO CREATE A HULABALOO ON HIS INTEGRITY!!! IT WONT WASH SO GO BACK TO THE WILDERNESS OF THE SAVANNAH AND REAR COWS AND GUINEA FOWLS. THATS WHAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE GOOD AT1 YOU WERE NOT CUT OUT TO LIVE AMONG CIVILIZED PEOPLE!!! OPPEEPPEENNII QUASHIA!!!!
THEY ARE JUST SCARED THAT AGYARKO WILL REVEAL ALL THE SHADY DEALS AT THE MINISTRY AND HENCE ARE TRYING ALL THEY CAN TO GET HIM OUT BUT HEY THE GUY HAS BEEN SWORN IN AS THE MINISTER SO JUST DEAL WITH IT.
Suhuyni should go and tell his father to come and suspend the appointment. Donkey!
The NDC party is sooooo dumbed down it is now firmly mired in nursery one kind of politics and thinking. His Excellency Prez. Akufo Addo should suspend who because some babies whose sharp teeth are falling out are talking absolute gibberish???? But what paaaa is going on in that NDC party? Is there no sensible person in that NDC party? This is serious. Is the NDC party now a concert party? This is ridiculous. What kind of jokers are these people????
This Radio Gold digger 2 is making NOISE. Who is He and what does he Know. He should be patient and learn and stop making unnecessary noise on the c'tte.
Is that what Sohuini was taught in school? And all such persons are in parliament to take decisions on our behalf. We are doomed. That is why NDC signed a lot of meaningless contracts AND PLUNGED THIS COUNTRY INTO MEANINGLESS DEBT. SUHINI TWEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
your wife at the national health insurance scheme should rather resign.
