Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has rubbished reports that he was the one who raised money to ‘bribe’ the minority members of Parliament so they can approve the nomination of Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko.
Bawku Central MP, Mahama Ayariga on Friday accused Energy minister, Boakye Agyarko of attempting to bribe the minority members of the committee, to clear him following his vetting – but they rejected it.
According to him, the energy minister’s bribery attempt was made through the chairman of the committee, Joseph Osei-Owusu which was given to the minority caucus by its chief whip, Muntaka Mubarak.
The two have since denied ever given money to the former Sports Minister despite other minority members of the Appointments Committee claiming they also received the sum but have since returned them.
Mahama Ayariga claimed that rumours that made rounds on the floor of Parliament indicated that a certain MP was boasting that he helped in the raising of the money to ‘settle’ the minority. The conduct of the MP in the public, Ayariga said made them reject the ‘bribe’.
This statement of Ayariga caused communicators of the NDC to take to social media to suggest that Kennedy Agyapong was the MP who was involved in the raising of funds to bribe the minority.
Alhaji Bature on Adom TV Tuesday accused Kennedy Agyapong of being ‘instrumental’ in the raising of the money to bribe the minority MPs. “All the episodes would be told very soon, and the name of Kennedy Agyapong would be very instrumental in all this…,” he said.
The MP reacting to this however questioned the logic behind such speculations arguing that ‘I don’t use my money for such purposes’. “I have heard people saying on social media that I raised the money and I laugh…I have money but don’t use for such purposes…,” he reacted.
Kennedy Agyapong who said he didn’t have the full details because he isn’t a member of the Appointments Committee called on Parliament to conduct a full scale investigation into the allegation.

For me I don't get it !!!!!!!!; WHAT IS THE POINT AND LOGIC IN OBTAINING SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE DESTINED TO GET ANYWAY !!!!!!and why on earth do they drag Ken Agyepong of these claims and counter claims into this RAT RACE of corruption and bribery and why should this man Agaryko pay so much cash to get people that he knows will expose him any way for bribery ; it is only a NAIVE politician who will do such ediotic thing ; frankly it does not add up ; did this nominee think have any skeletons in his cupboard whilst he was working abroad ; was he engaged in any fraudulent activity and if so why did not these NDC minority people bring it up; TO ME IT THINGS DOES NOT ADD UP !!!!!; THIS IS TOO MURKY AND TOO SINISTER !!!!!!! and what did the NDC or Ayariga and the others hoped to achieve ; this BOGGLES THE MIND !!!!!
I think Bature got no news to write about so he is just wasting his time on unthinkable issues, master grow up and stop dragging ken into this one too and no matter what the minority cant do anything about this, grow up babies with sharp teeth
Bature, You don't learn at all. Where is the common sense in this? Boakye does not need to bribe anyone to be cleared at vetting. You have forgotten the overwhelming defeat the NDC suffered last month? Has anyone ever been denied clearance at this kangaroo vetting committee? Even dinning hall prefects were given the nod. Please give us a break!! Hon Adjapong will not waste his money. Mr Bature, stop your story-making
There is no wisdom in this for the reason being even if the Minority on the Vetting Committee does not approve Agyarko's nomination, it will go to the floor of parliament for deliberation and voting. Now, what is the number of the minority compared to the Majority? At the end of the day there is no way the Minority could prevent Agyarko from becoming the substantive minister. So why would he want to give Bribe? IT'S A TOTAL LIE. Mahama Ayariga started it and he wanted to backtrack and they saw that it was gaining roots, so Okudzato the Kwasiato also joined. Look at the people Okudzato is calling as witnesses; Nii Lantey and the likes. Okudzato said he met Mahama Ayariga going to Muntaka's office so he took that of Ayariga and met Nii Lantey at Muntaka's Office. F00OOLISH Talk. Even kids can tell you are lying. Muntaka knows they are being F00OLISH that's why dissociated himself from it. You guys are not wise because the angle with which you want to pay Agyarko back is so full of flaws. For that Ayariga I don't know whether he's got any brains up there.
