Ablekuma West MP and Minister-designate for Communications, Ursula Owusu Ekuful has supported Parliament's formation of a 5-member Committee to investigate the recent corruption allegations.
Speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo, Mrs. Owusu Ekuful noted that the investigations will definitely help resolve the issue.
She called on the leadership of the House to sanction any person found guilty in the latest corruption saga to serve as deterrent to other members of the House.
Ursula Owusu Ekuful however defended the integrity of the Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko who has been accused of offering a bribe to members of the Parliamentary Appointments Committee.
She wondered how his accuser, Mahama Ayariga - MP for Bawku Central - could link him to the bribery issue when his witnesses have denied the claims.
To her, there should be thorough investigation into the issue to absolve Parliament.
“Triple double hearsay, how do you prove that? Even if, for the sake of argument, there was some money involved; how do you link it to this particular (candidate) nominee...that he’s the person that brought the money when he has also stated categorically that he never given you a penny? I therefore support that they should launch an investigation…”

The NDC now see Ex President Mahama as a' tin god' He does no wrong. He should not be challenged, he should be accorded a ll the good accolades. If you there and you are unlucky to e nominated as a Minister then the NDC members on the Parliament Appointment committee will let you face the Statement Retraction Committee(SRC). The NDC as a party is telling Vice President Bawumia that the campaign period is over but the members of the Appointment Committee are still chastising people for statements made during the campaign period. These are some of the issues that angered people to vote against the NDC and they are still not learning. The SRC is toothless. They are rather making people aware about what has been said about the former President.
THE PRESIDENT'S NOMINEES SHALL ALWAYS BE APPROVED BY PARLIAMENT BECAUSE HE HAS PARLIANTARY MAJORITY SO WHY ON EARTH WOULD MR BOAKYE AGARKO PAY BRIBE TO ANYBODY AT ALL? THIS IS ABSOLUTE TRASH SO PRESIDENT AKUFO ADDO SHOULD MAINTAIN MR AGARKO. CONTRVERSIAL AYARIGA AND HIS NATION WRECKING NDC ARE ONLY REERSING THE CLOCK OF PROGRESS!!
@ words: the answer to your question using your own argument is that they have an agenda against Boakye Agyarko. This is why they didn't mention the others.
Ayarig Should mention the name of whoever gave out the money so we can confirm the giver.no wonder his brother is Ayarikoff the joker and liar.
It is because he criticized former president Mahama for supervising corruption in his administration and Mahama Ayariga wanted to smear his name in revenge.
I recommend that to absolve parliament from international ridicule, the culprit must be made to work for at least 6 months without salary, and yet, must be made to come go to work. He should be made to sign a bond of good behavior. If the culprit is not a member of parliament, his nomination must be repealed.
from your own aguement, why wll they link it to one person, why not Osafo marfo, why not the others, but him...there is no smoke without fire
