The Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini is asking President Nana Akufo-Addo to suspend the nomination of Mr. Boakye Agyarko as the Energy Minister until investigations into the bribery accusations against him are concluded.
Mr. Suhuyini, along with two other Minority members of the Appointments Committee; Mahama Ayariga and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MPs for Bawku Central and North Tongu, have written to the Speaker of Parliament calling for a thorough investigation of the bribery claims against the Mr. Agyarko.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfasts Show, Mr. Suhuyini said the requested enquiry into the allegations would bring finality to the corruption allegations, but in the meantime, he insisted Mr. Agyarko’s nomination should be stayed.
“Mr. Boakye Agyarko, if you ask me; I think the President should stay his nomination and then after the enquiry… let’s all request the Speaker to do the needful by setting up whatever enquiry process and address the issues speedily and then take a decision.”
“Instead of us focusing on who is lying and who is telling the truth, let us push for the process to work. Let us understand the various angles and let us look at how finality can be brought to this matter. Finality to me can be brought to this matter through an enquiry that will establish the way forward,” the MP said.
The claims surfaced last Thursday with Mr. Ayariga accusing Mr. Agyarko of bribing the 10 Minority members of the Appointments Committee with GHc3,000 to pass him.
Mr. Ayariga alleged that the money was given to the Minority Chief Whip, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka by the Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Joseph Osei-Owusu for onward disbursement; a claim Mr Suhuyini and Mr Ablakwa both confirmed.
Although the Chief Whip and the Chairman have denied the claims, the three have insisted they were certain about the allegations.

if this is your plan, then you have failed. Because Agyarko said, Mahama was corrupt that nis why you have decided to fabricate bribery scandal against Agyarko. You have failed.
When did you go to the Parliament to make yourself to know for attention. We know you people to be crooks,we know you to be thi*ves,we know you to liars we know you to be akurase champions,we know you to be Johnny just comes, we know you to be intoxicated with power but it doesn't fit you. Suhuyini get a life and learn parliament procedure since your too know and show off will lead you to failure, a first term experience with scandals and kriminal activities will end your career not less than the 4 years. I pity those who voted for you,I don't really know what they found in you that influenced their decision,they made a very bad choice to represent them. Anyway! Mr Boakye Agyarko is a competent and responsible man who knows what he is doing and wouldn't allow some idi*ts from somewhere to tarnish his hard earned reputation. I can't imagine how somebody who had lived most of his life in America can do such an uncivil thing not to anybody but a bunch of primit*ve Johnny just comes. The president is not going to listen to an opposition that is grieving over their gargantuan humiliated unprecedented defeat. He us not going to listen to some bunch of fo*ls who have taking the Truth hostage,he is not going to listen to a failed party which has been sent to opposition the president is there to serve Ghanaians not ndc so will never listen to your nons*nse. You can send your grievances to John mahama for solution but not our President. Mr Agyarko is a good asset to Ghana not a liability like Oti Bless,Sampson Ahi, Kwabena Akando,Fiifi Kwettey,Ablakwah,Nii Lante Vanderpuye etc even these were allowed to work and collapse our country under John mahama how much more this fine gentleman called Mr Boakye Agyarko. Your framed and false accusation will rest on your heads. Ndc will never come back to power,no wonder the founder and owner doesn't want to take it back with such st*pid fo*ls.
A call for thorough investigations is in order. It will be to the benefit of the Nana Addo led NPP government to prove that there is no room for such misconduct and Ghanaians will maintain their support for his govenment. But if they gloss over it then they are falling into the same hole which the erstwhile Mahama led NDC government fell into.
Does the call make sense? A big no!!!!!! The person said to have received the money and shared had vehemently denied the allegations. So why not call on Muntaka to be suspended? Agyarko shd not be suspended until proven guilty.
WHAT ***barred word*** SUGGESTION IS THIS, THAT AGYAKO SHOULD BE SUSPENDED? WHY SHOULD HE BE SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCOCTED LIES. REMEMBER WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. GOD PUNISH YOU THREE THOUSAND TIMES.
Very laughable paa. You are asking Mahama to come home? Rather,tell the Minister Three Thousand to resign,that is the proper thing to do. Mahama has lost beacause according to NPP he is corrupt and you are planning to hunt all his ministers. Now the corrupt man is within yourself so arrest him and prosecute him, The minister Three Thousand Man. This will prove that he came to fight corruption and protect public purse Bunch of looters
It is clearly shown in the issue. When it is your members it is false. A cup you used to measure against your friends that same cup will be used against you Hypocrites NPP, if AKuffo Addo is coming to fight corruption as he promised he should let Aggyarko to resign and do proper investigation This is first test to prove that you have come to fight corruption and protect public purce Boakye Agyarko, Minister Three Thousand Minister 3k
This guy whose initials are "***barred word***" is indeed an ***barred word***.
Advise Mahama to come home
