“The posture of the committee is as a result of the kind of training that members of the committee had. So we are all brought up into a system that say, if you are coming into this committee there are rules by which you should come. We should be more interested in the substantive matter, and coming to the bottom of it.”
“We should be less technical and more inclusive and more interested in delving into the bottom of the matter so that we will not say, you have come to give testimony on a particular aspect of the matter and once you are done, that is it.”Tuinese Amuzu was speaking at a multi-stakeholder forum on strengthening responsiveness to corruption-related incidents.

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.
He said they rejected the money and asked that the money be returned to him.
