Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has rubbished calls on CHRAJ to look at the Joe Ghartey Committee report in arriving at a decision on whether or not to launch another investigation into the Parliamentary bribery scandal.
Kweku Baako described any such move as a total "waste of time".
According to him, the Joe Ghartey Committee report made an in-depth investigation into the scandal which should not be undermined.
Dissecting the report and the bribery scandal, Mr. Baako believed due diligence had been done by the Committee; in that, it gave all parties involved equal opportunities to feed it with substantial evidence on the issue.
Reading portions of the report which indicated that all interested parties were permitted to give a written account to the Committee, Mr. Baako wondered why the alleged witnesses to the bribery scandal failed to present their memos to the Committee to help with the investigations.
He therefore admonished the minority, particularly North Tongu MP, Samuel Ablakwa, Alhassan Suhuyini and Mahama Ayariga himself among others in Parliament to stop discrediting the report because they had every opportunity to prove otherwise that the Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko indeed attempted to bribe them or rather bribed them.
“They shouldn’t waste our ears. Why didn’t they send the evidence . . . these are Members of Parliament, we’re talking about. We’re talking about Members of Parliament, not of some kindergarten school.”
To Kweku Baako, the challenge by those MPs on the minority side that the report didn't deal thoroughly with the issue is "so annoying. It’s so [so] annoying. It’s an insult to our intelligence as a people . . . What is this? What are they doing to us? This is an assault on our intelligence and our spiritual beings. They’re killing us with such infantile nonsense. I mean what is happening to Ghana. We’re talking about Members of Parliament, I repeat not kindergarten pupils.”

Kweku do you honestly believe money does not change hands in Parliament and that Parliamentarians do not take inducements for their legitimate duties? This may not apply to the index case but l strongly believe there is something fishy going on in Parliament. Partisan interests in Parliament override that of the ordinary citizens of Ghana and this will eventually make parliament lose its sanctity and become irrelevant in the eyes of Ghanaians
KWEKU BAAKO SHOULD RATHER HELP THE OPPOSITION PARTY TO MAKE THE PARTY IN GOVERNMENT WORK VERY EFFECTIVE THAN DESTROYING IT. WHEN THESE ISSUE POP OUT SOME OF US WANT CHRAJ TO INVESTIGATE IT BECAUSE ALTHOUGH CHRAJ IS GOVERNMENT INSTITUTION AND IS MANDATED TO DO SUCH A ISSUE LIKE THESE. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN YOU DISOWN YOUR OWN CHILD AND TAKE SOMEONE CHILD TO BE YOUR CHILD. NO WAY
have you so soon forgotten the world cup saga at Brazil. what did Mahama do?
kweku is 100% right we are talking about members o parliament not kindergarten
My friend, you are typical ndc guy who doesn't read or don't understand anything you read. Who told you the Majority investigated itself? Do you know there were equal number of ndc MPs on the panel? Do you really understand the issue at stake? Bawumia was right; you guys don't read.
Please, Kweku Baako should stop insulting the intelligence of Ghanaians. How on earth do you think Majority in Parliament will investigate itself and will not be exonerated? Some of us foresaw this and called on CHRAJ to jump into it. But thinking they have the numbers the Speaker constituted a committee to do it. At least 3 MPs made the allegations and only one was made the scapegoat. This is rather the infantile non - sense. Don't we have brains? There are better qualified people out there. Because of the way we carry out our politics, decent people are scared and you for a cabal to milk the nation dry and Kweku Baako will tell us this is infantile ***barred word***, why?
Eric are you sure NDC will rot in opposition then i think you are sleeping. even the pectro increament alone will send npp to opposition
That is ndc for you. Why should we be surprised? If we are surprised then it means we were expecting something extraordinary from these people that we know very very well for all the wrong things imaginable.
It's so annoying to hear the minority discrediting this precise and accurate report exposing their bloody lies and cooked allegation. They think Ghanaians are ***barred word***.They'll rot in opposition,mark it.
