I will deliver my verdict on Ghartey report soon – Mike Ocquaye

Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Aaron Ocquaye, says he is committed to bringing finality to the bribery allegation made by Bawku Central MP, Mahama Ayariga against some legislators.

He told Members of Parliament Friday ruling on the “special committee findings and matters arising will be delivered in due course.”

Ghanaians continue to debate the content of the report of the Joe Ghartey Committee set up to investigate a bribery claim leveled by Mr Ayariga.

The Joe Ghartey Committee told MPs Thursday it found no evidence to support Mr Ayariga’s claim that GHC3,000 was handed to some minority MPs on the Appointment Committee to approve the then Energy Minister nominee Boakye Agyarko.

“The Committee is at a loss…there is no evidence that money was given to the MPs,” Mr Ghartey who chaired the Committee said.

He also said there was no evidence that Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko offered any money to bribe legislators.
