Private legal practitioner Bobby Banson has voiced deep concern over recent allegations that members of Parliament’s Appointments Committee have been accepting money in exchange for vetting ministerial nominees.
This comes after social activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, who had previously claimed that some committee members demanded bribes from ministerial nominees.
After appearing before the committee upon the request of the Chairman of the committee, Bernard Ahiafor, Baker-Vormawor, explained that his comments were intended to highlight broader concerns about corruption and transparency, rather than directly accuse the committee.
He susbsequently apologised to Parliament’s Appointments Committee, stressing that his earlier remarks about alleged bribery were not meant to disparage its members.
