Alhaji Muntaka Mubarak, the Member of Parliament for Asawase constituency has retracted and apologized for accusing a Supreme Court judge of bribery.
The Asawase MP it may be recalled had alleged that a certain Supreme Court Judge attempted to bribe a member of parliament of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to vote for the immediate past Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye.
Speaking in a one-on-one interview on Joy News, he alleged: “shamefully, a Supreme Court judge called a lady colleague telling her what they will give her, if she votes for Prof Mike Oquaye. He told her that, they will help her take care of her children. She can take fuel from a filling station for free for the next four years. So we are going to look into it".
This however generated lots of reactions with some asking him to prove it. The Ghana Bar Association (BAR) called on him to substantiate his bribery allegation.
Let sleeping dogs lie
In a release signed by him and sighted by Peacefmonline.com, Muntaka said his decision to retract and apologize was “based upon good counsel", adding "I have also decided to let sleeping dogs lie and will consequently refrain from any further public commentary on the matter which, as I have indicated was originally reported to me by a female colleague Parliamentarian”.

Folks , i keeping on telling you that NDC as a political party is evil and therefore members in there are equally evil. Is not the same Muntaka who use state to finance his girl friends and bought pampers out of it . Such breeds of characters in NDC carry themselves as saint and turn around to crucifix innocent hard work leaders in the country . If an apology is enough to tarnish peoples image then the establishment of our system in Ghana is meaningless. NDC leadership like damaging innocent Ghanaians character so they do in political fiesta such that even something they have not done in their life will proceed to preach about as their legacy, WHY ? WHY ? WHY DO NDC thinks All Ghanaians are ***barred word*** or what ?
Like seriously? You denegrate a judge , allow apologies of so called journalists belonging to the NDC go on air to denegrate Justice Hononouga and you tell us sleeping dogs should lie? Hell no. The CJ should take this seriously so we truth takes its course. Kuffuor was accused of missing Gold it later turns out it was political infantile goof. Let these so called morally upright MPs like Muntaka be exposed for who they are. MPs like Muntaka and his ilk do not deserve paliamentary immunity. Does he know the damage he has caused thevjudge by his senseless and myopic statement. He should dance to his own tune. Thought he was a morality crusader. Is Muntaka not worse? No wonder NDC feel these are the men without blemish
He always make allegations without proved. The same thing happen last four years during vetting of former energy minister, Mr Agyarko. These NDC people. Shame.
We have to blame Rawlings and ourselves for allowing these people to grow wings to be so arrogant and disrespectful.
Sickening and s h a m e f u l. Is this a leader worth hearing? Such a person should never be a leader in a serious nation like ours. Or we approve such kind????
NDC PRATY IS SHAMEFUL AND DISGRACEFUL. THEY ARE THE REAL PROBLEMS OF GHANA, ALWAYS FABLICATING AND SPREADING FALSEHOOD TO POISON THE MINDS OF MANY AGAINST THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS WHO ARE WORKING HARD TO BUIL A HEALTHY SOCIETY. THEY ARE CORRUPT SO THEY FALSELY ACCUSE OTHERS TO SCORE POLITICAL EQUALIZATION. ALL THEIR ALLEGATIONS FAIL TO BE SUBSTANTIATED. FROM AYARIGA VETTING BRIBERY, OKUDJATO ABRAKWA CASH FOR SEATS, MUNTAKA JUDGE BRIBERY AND MAHAMA - ASIEDU NKETIA - HARUNA BASELESS ELECTION COMPLAINTS HAVE ALL TURNED OUT TO BECOME HOAX. NDC ALWAYS FEED THEIR SUPPORTERS WITH PROPAGANDA BASED ON LIES. THE ULTIMATE DANGER OF SUCH ACTIONS BECOME NOTICED IN ATTACKS ON INNOCENT PEOPLE AND LOST OF LIVES. IT IS IMPORTANT THEN TO PRAY TO GOD THAT AS HE RESPONDS TO TAKE AWAY COVID HE SHOULD NOT LEAVE NDC BEHIND.
This man ( M P) should be drown ATTENTION, To be let the Good reputation of MOSLEMS be affirmed. He can not be telling Liars always to create confusion and come to render apologize. NO!, A good MOSLEM did not tell liars. Supreme court should call him before them, and tell him Something. Thank you.
Apology is not enough! he should be brought to the supreme court to prove his allegation!. I wonder why the laws of our land does not entangle these so call Parliamentarians? I quite remember when Black Rasta or so said something these Mp's consider unpalatable, he was to parliament to face the privileges committee to defend those words. May I ask! are the Mp's better and important than anybody else in Ghana? Eii! Ghana mo mma y3n hw3 no yie oo! Hmmmm!
