Barker-Vormawor must face consequences for false allegations – Annoh-Dompreh

The controversy surrounding Oliver Barker-Vormawor’s bribery allegations against Parliament’s Appointments Committee has deepened, with Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh condemning his conduct as irresponsible and his apology as insincere.

Barker-Vormawor appeared before the committee to provide evidence for his claims that incoming ministers had bribed their way through vetting.

However, he failed to present any proof, leading Chairman Bernard Ahiafor to suggest that he issue a formal apology.

While Barker-Vormawor seemingly expressed remorse, Annoh-Dompreh was unimpressed, arguing that his apology lacked sincerity.

“He didn’t come here willingly. If he hadn’t been summoned, would he have shown up?” Annoh-Dompreh questioned.

“His claim that a whistleblower provided him with the information is baseless. He must take responsibility for misleading the public.”

The lawmaker further stressed that Parliament must uphold its integrity, insisting that Barker-Vormawor’s actions should not go unaddressed. “Parliament is a serious arm of government. You don’t throw accusations around and walk away as if nothing happened,” he asserted.
