Ayariga Would Soon Cry…Machinations Against Agyarko Would Scramble
A staunch member of the Progressive People’s
Party, Mr. Charles Owusu has jumped to the defense
of Mr. Boakye Ayarko following unsubstantiated
reports that he tried bribing members of the
appointments committee to approve his
candidature.

Bawku Central MP, Mahama Ayariga, incurred the
wrath of his colleague MPs when he alleged that
envelopes containing GH¢3,000 each were
distributed to members of the Appointments
Committee of the House to approve the nomination
of Boakye Agyarko as Minister of Energy.

Although Parliament is yet to conclude
investigation and publish findings on the bribery
allegations involving Mr. Boakye Agyarko and some
leaders of the House, Mr. Charles Owusu has
predicted Mr. Boakye Ayarko would be exonerated
and come out as clean as a whistle.  

In an interview with Peacefmonline.com, the PPP
scribe noted that a resourceful person like Mr.
Agyarko demonstrated during his vetting session
which aired on national television that he over
qualifies to be Ghana's Energy Minister.

“Boakye Agyarko would never pay bribe or a dime
to convince MPs to approve his candidature. He is
a good orator and on top of that, he has brilliant
ideas that are workable to end this devastating
power interruption that the NDC has left
behind”.

Last week, the Bawku Central MP rattled Parliament
when he alleged that Mr. Boakye Ayarko’s bribery
attempt was made through the chairman of the
committee, Hon. Osei Owusu.

The news which started on Radio Gold last Friday
spread like wildfire and Hon. Osei Owusu was quick
to react to it by claiming Mahama Ayariga’s
allegation were “colossal untruth.”

He pressed on by requesting the speaker of
Parliament, Mike Oquaye to grant him immunity to
go to court and clear his bruised integrity in the
bribery allegation that hit the committee he
chairs.

Aside him, the Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka
Mohammed Mubarak, has also denied sharing
envelopes containing money to his colleagues on
the Appointments Committee to influence Mr. Boakye
Ayarko’s passage.

Happenings linked to the saga, convinces Mr.
Charles Owusu that Mahama Ayariga would soon be
shamed in public for forging his own story.

“Ayariga would soon be crying. He would cry like
a baby. Machinations against a gem like Agyarko
would never stand. It is sad a man of repute like
him has been targeted by Ayariga. I don’t
believe it would destroy him; he would grow
stronger and serve Ghana diligently”.
