First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei Owusu has dismissed claims that Members of Parliament (MPs) are bribed into accepting the nominees of the President.
The approval of some ministerial nominees was criticized because of what some describe as their poor showing during vetting.
The endorsement of minister-designates Ken Ofofi-Atta, Hawa Koomson, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and Dr Owusu Afriyie-Akoto despite opposition further heightened concerns about possible palm greasing in the House.
But speaking to JoyNews’ Emefa Apawu, the Bekwai legislator said MPs only do their work.
“Unfortunately, we have become too corrupt as a country, nobody accepts that you can do something genuinely without thinking about your palm being greased or that you are being promised something.
