Ayariga’s bribery claims: I am now watchful in dealing with everyone-Osei Owusu

First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei Owusu has revealed that several lessons have been drawn from the infamous bribery scandal that rocked the appointments committee of parliament in January 2017.

He indicates that one of the lessons he personally learnt is to be watchful in dealing with colleague lawmakers and others considering the gravity of the allegations leveled against him which kept tormenting him  prior to the findings of the Joe Ghartey Committee that exonerated him and the others.

On Kumasi-based Nhyira Fm, he disclosed that it was not easy for him to overcome the ‘cooked’ claims made by National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga.

“I am a human being but I have to forgive those who made those allegations against me….but this time I am watching my steps in dealing with everyone”, the Chairman of the Appointments Committee of Parliament and lawmaker for Bekwai Constituency  stated.

In January this year, Hon. Mahama Ayariga, made some allegations against some members of the appointments committee of parliament.

He was alleged to have said each member of the committee was given GH¢3,000 to approve the nomination of Energy Minister-designate, Boakye Agyarko

The Joe Ghartey committee was therefore constituted after allegations by the Bawku Central MP Mahama Ayariga that the Chairman of the Appointment Committee Joseph Osei-Owusu had given the stated GH¢3,000 each to minority members of the committee to approve the Minister of Energy nominee at the time.

Ayariga told an Accra based radio Station Radio Gold that the money was given to the Minority Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak for onward distribution to the members of the Minority.

He explained that the Minority MPs on the committee initially accepted the monies thinking it was payment of their sitting allowance.

But commenting on the issue publicly for the first time, Hon Joseph Osei Owusu  indicated that story was cooked just to tarnish his image and the other ranking members on the committee

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill.
