Committee, Mahama Ayariga, in January alleged
Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko attempted to bribe
the Minority members on the committee with GHS3000
each to endorse his nomination after his vetting.

Osei-Owusu is alleged to have given the monies to
the Minority on the committee through Minority
Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak.

However, Mr Mubarak, Mr Agyarko and Mr Osei-Owusu
