Barker-Vormawor Summoned by Parliament Over Bribery Allegations Against Vetting Committee

Activist and lawyer Oliver Barker-Vormawor has been summoned to appear before Ghana’s Parliamentary Appointments Committee to defend his claims that its members demand bribes from ministerial nominees.

This follows his explosive allegations that the vetting process is tainted by corruption, sparking public outcry and calls for accountability.

Bernard Ahiafor, the First Deputy Speaker and Committee Chairman, vehemently denied the claims, branding them baseless and an attack on Parliament’s integrity.

The upcoming session is expected to be contentious, with Barker-Vormawor tasked to provide evidence to support his accusations.

Public interest in the matter is high, as the claims have reignited debates about transparency and accountability in Ghana’s political processes. Advocacy groups have urged Parliament to ensure a fair hearing, emphasizing that addressing such allegations is crucial for restoring public trust.

While some applaud Barker-Vormawor for speaking out, critics argue that making such claims without evidence could undermine his credibility and distract from genuine reforms.

The hearing will test the activist’s resolve and could have far-reaching implications for Ghana’s governance.
