The Joe Ghartey Committee has asked Member of Parliament for Bawku Central to apologize to his colleagues in Parliament for leveling allegations against the Energy Minister, Emmanuel Boakye Agyarko and Chairman of the Parliamentary Appointments Committee (PAC), Joe Osei-Owusu.
The Joe Ghartey Committee was set up by the Speaker of Parliament, Mike Oquaye, to probe the allegations and make a report on the case to ascertain the truth in the issue.
Following the Committee's report, it has been established that the Bawku Central MP and a member of the PAC made unsubstantiated and unfounded allegations, and therefore is being directed to render an unqualified apology before Parliament.
Peace FM's Parliamentary Correspondent, Emmanuel Akorli filed the report on the news bulletin at 6 pm.
The Committee’s report, which was laid before Parliament yesterday [Wednesday] recommended that Mr. Ayariga be reprimanded by the Speaker of the House in accordance with Section 35 of the Parliament Act 1965 (Act 300).
The report also recommended that Mr. Ayariga renders an unqualified apology to the House, explaining that this would purge him of contempt.
More details soon . . .

THIS WHOLE COMMITTER ABOUT THE BRIBERY SCANDAL WAS TO COVER UP THE TRUTH AND THIS WAS DONE BY BOTH THE MAJORITY AND THE MINORITY SIDE OF THE HOUSE HOWEVER THEY FAILED TO STAGED THE THING WELL BECAUSE OF THE APPROACH IN LAYING THE REPORT. THEY SHOULD HAVE INVOLVED THE ACTORS DIPLOMATICALLY BEHIND THE SEEN BUT TRYING TO SHAME AYARIGA TO CLEAN THE HOUSE WAS THE REASON FOR WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. APOLOGY OR NO APOLOGY WE THE DESCENDING MINDS KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. WHEN THEY ARE DONE WE THE PUBLIC WILL PROBE THE MATTER AND ASK THE RELEVANT QUESTIONS.
Joe Ghartey, Did anyone receive any money and where did the money come from? Please answer this and the matter will be settled.
THE MOST ***barred word***, DEVISIVE, VISSIONLESS, BOGUS, REPORT. HOW CAN ONE BE A JUDGE IN HIS OR HER OWN COURT IF NOT NPP IN POWER ? I CAN SEE NPP FALLING QUICKLY .
No wonder we are black people. See how intelligently the committee chairman tried to deceive all of us into believing their report.From day one i knew this committee is not going to delver. They tried to use Ayariga as an escape goat but i am happy it took him just 4 minutes to expose the eloquent chairman of the committee and rubbish their work. This parliamentarian both majority and minority are not God fearing persons and this issue should be a wake up call to them. 90% of our MPS have abuse the MP common fund and we have to scrap that fund. just as they are cutting some of the funds to our statutory bodies so must they scrap the MP common fund.
what do these parliamentarians take us4
NPP should get these ndc radio gold contingent expelled before parliament looses its intergrety and credibility
THIS IS A COCK AND BULL STORY. SO IS THIS ALL THE COMMITTEE'S FINDINGS WAS ABOUT? JUST FOR AYARIGA TO APOLOGIZE FOR EXPOSING CORRUPT PRACTICES? WHY SHOULD AYARIGA ALONE APOLOGIZE BUT NOT THE REST OF THE WITNESSES? THIS IS THE SHAMEFUL AND ***barred word*** INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE I HAVE EVER HEARD OR KNOWN IN MY LIFE. GOD IS WATCHING ALL OF US. IF HON. AYARIGA WOULD ALLOW THIS DISGRACE UNTO HIMSELF, IT'S UP TO HIM. I REST MY CASE.
What a big shame to these Radio Gold parliamentarians. They should expel from parliament to serve as a lesson to charlatans like Nii Lante and Eric Opoku
People of Ghana should tell me; what will make Boakye Agyarko bride the Minority so that they can pass him? In the worse case scenario like that of Otiko, the party in Power will vote their candidate through. In any case the Majority is about two thirds in Parliament. So ask yourself, where is the substance in this matter? It is Baseless.
NPP get serious okay. What is apology? Ayariga and AblaKwa are just disgrace people to our NATION. Parliament must trigger an article to sack those people from parliament. Please Ghanaians u gut to be serious. Someone must be used as a SCAPEGOAT.
