Boakye Agyarko’s faith as the next Energy Minister currently hangs in the balance.
He is yet to be endorsed by the Appointments Committee following some allegations of perjury against his testimony before the committe.
And to make matters worse, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central MP, Mahama Ayariga made a scathing revelation on Radio Gold that the embattled minister designate, connived with the Chairperson of the Appointments Committee, Mr. Osei Owusu, to bribe Minority MPs who were stalling his nomination.
Mr Ayariga explained that the Minority MPs unanimously rejected an enveloped amount of GHS3000 each, when they found out from Mr. Osei Owusu that the money was coming from Mr. Agyarko.
According to Mr Ayariga, the Minority MPs first accepted the money because they were under the impression that the money was their sitting allowance but got alarmed and decided to return the money after they heard rumours that the money was coming from Mr. Agyarko to bribe them.
As the issue becomes the rage on airwaves, the Chair of the Appointments Committee of Parliament, Joe Osei Owusu, has threatened to take legal action against persons trying to malign him by claiming he is part of the scheme to bribe minority MPs who have vetted Boakye Agyarko.
In an interview with Peacefm’s Emmanuel Akorli, Hon. Joe Osei Owusu threw a huge challenge to the Minority MPs to disclose the exact identity of the person who gave them the money as a form of bribe to speed up the nomination of Boakye Agyarko as Minister of State.

Massa what are you waiting for SUE Ayariga and His CROOKS and the truth shall surely come out. NPP must be careful when you're dealing with those CROOKS like MUTAKA a.k.a Hon PAMPAS and co.Long live Ghana and Long live KEEA
Only a threat? Let him prove in court. People should be stopped from toying with Parliament
Please the Hon Ayariga must come clear on whether he acknowledged official receipt of the sitting allowance. Also Hon Muntaka who served as a convener of the money must be investigated.
Joe owusu said the minority are trying to putting into the allegation, it means bribery took place, when koffuo said corruption is as old as Adam is indeed true.
MR OSEI OWUSU MUST RESIGN NOW. WE WANT THIS MATTER TO BE LOOK INTO AS A MATTER OF URGENCY. MR AGYARKO NOMINATION SHOULD BE HOLD TILL THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED. I SUGGEST KYEI MENSAH OR SOMEONE COMPETENT SHOULD LEAD THE VETTING COMMITTEE FOR NOW.
The NDC used lies and propaganda the entire time they were in power and it never helped them.It seems to me they have never learnt anything. The people of Ghana are these days wise and sophisticated.I don't know what they seek to gain with this n0ns3nse.Why would Agyarko bribe them if thy can do nothing to stop his appointment going through anyway?Ayariga is someone is one of the former NDC ministers with a lot of dirt .It would be nice to investigate him.

Please Hon Joe Osei Owusu, don't issue threats on such scathingly damning accusation. Sue for damages immediately to scorch the evil! Do people such as these, and coming from where they come deserve tolerance and toleration?
