Member of Parliament (MP) for Asawase constituency, Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka is currently the topic of the day following some allegations he made against a Supreme Court Judge and his subsequent action after the allegations.
Hon. Muntaka claimed a Justice of the Supreme Court had attempted to bribe a National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) to induce her in the election of a Speaker of Parliament.
On hindsight, the honourable Parliamentarian has eaten humble pie and retracted his words. I therefore wish to retract same and apologise for the harm done to the image and reputation of my Lord Justices of the Supreme Court and the Judiciary as a whole. Based upon good counsel, I have also decided to let sleeping dogs lie and will consequently refrain from any further public commentary on the matter which, as I have indicated was originally reported to me by a female colleague Parliamentarian.
