The lying game in Parliament stinks – Ivor Greenstreet

Earlier this year Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga accused Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko and other members of Parliament’s vetting committee of trying to bribe MPs with GHc 3000 to get them to approve the latter.

According to him, it is mystifying to know that lawmakers of the land are “engaged in this horrible pot, which is nothing but a lying game”.

The issue escalated when head of the vetting committee Joe Owusu Osei was also implicated by Ayariga, leading to an ad hoc committee being constituted to investigate the matter.

So far all parties have been invited to give their accounts, however, the issue is yet to be laid to rest.

The CPP’s presidential candidate for the 2016 elections, Ivor Greenstreet cannot understand how MP’s would deliberately lie, suggesting both the minority and majority are not being truthful to the public.

“And you wonder why a body at the highest level like our parliament, our legislature; people who are supposed to be called honourable, people who are supposed to go and make laws to make our lives better…they are all engaged in this horrible pot, which is nothing but a lying game,” he told ClassFM.

“The NDC seems to be lying; the NPP seems to be lying. The whole thing is just a pot of lies and so the smell from this pot is very repulsive.”

Greenstreet, however, expressed confidence in the ad hoc committee set up to get to the bottom of the matter. In his view,” the chair of the ad hoc committee, Joe Ghartey, is a serious person who, with his fellow members, will try and do his best to get to the bottom of the matter”.
