Bribery Allegation: I’m ready to apologise – Barker-Vormawor

Oliver Barker-Vormawor’s legal representative has clarified that the post made by his client regarding alleged financial transactions linked to ministerial appointees was misunderstood.

Appearing before the Parliamentary Appointments Committee, lawyer Nana Ato Dadzie explained that Barker-Vormawor’s post was never intended to disparage the Committee members but was rather aimed at exposing misconduct by third parties.

Dadzie admitted that Barker-Vormawor made the post but emphasised that it was not directed at the Committee. He expressed his client’s regret over the misunderstanding and offered an apology on his behalf.

“This statement and the way it has been interpreted as though he intended to vilify this honourable Committee is far from his intention. His purpose was simply to expose misconduct by third parties impacting the work of the Committee,” Dadzie explained.

He further assured the Committee that Barker-Vormawor was prepared to withdraw the post and apologise for the confusion.

“As a supporter of democracy, he is ready, willing, and prepared to apologise for this misunderstanding and also to withdraw the post,” he added.

The legal team stressed that Barker-Vormawor’s statement was aligned with the whistleblower’s act, noting that as a citizen, he had the right to raise concerns about the issue and advocate for the cessation of such practices.
