Speaking on Newfile Saturday, Mr Ayariga told the show host  Samson Lardy Ayenini that MPs only heard what was read on the floor of parliament by the Chairman of the Committee before approving it.

He said: "Just to point out something you should also be watching out for.

"Review the clips, the proceedings in the house, you'd have notice that copies of the reports were being distributed when Hon. Joe Ghartey was delivering his report.

"So the honourable members of the house only got to know the report when he was already on his feet delivering the report. Moving the motion for the abridgement of time so that he could deliver the report. And that was when they were sharing the report.

"So honourable members didn't even get the opportunity to see the report, they only heard what was delivered."

Asked why parliament approved the report without reading it, he said during the reading of the report, he stood up to draw the Speaker's attention to "fundamental legal issues and fundamental errors of judgement in terms of the analysis of the issues that were before the committee and the basis upon which they were analysing the issue before question to the house."

According to him, he was not recognised by the Speaker to speak so he could raise the issue with the Speaker.

The report had charged Mr Ayariga of contempt of parliament after he accused the then energy minister-designate, Boakye Agyarko, of bribery and that the Minority Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak was the conduit.

The committee, which was constituted to investigate Mr Ayariga's claims exonerated Mr Agyarko, Mubarak and the Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Joe Osei-Owusu.

On Thursday he was asked to apologise to the house and in a defiant response he said,"Mr Speaker if you say I should apologise, I apologise."
