It is still unclear what the findings of the report are.
Background
Parliament earlier this year set up a five-member committee to investigate the alleged bribery scandal involving some members of the Appointments Committee.
MP for Bawku Central, Mr Mahama Ayariga had claimed that the Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko sent money to the minority side in an attempt to influence their decision on his approval after he was vetted for the position.
The NDC Member of Parliament said they (the minority) received the money thinking it was sitting allowance for being part of the Appointments Committee only to be told it was coming from the minister designate.
