Muntaka flip-flops on accusation against judiciary
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Asawase Constituency, Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka has eaten back his words that a Supreme Court judge attempted to bribe a female minority legislator to vote for Prof Aaron Michael Oquaye for the Speakership position.
He has also retracted and apologised, calling on the public to let sleeping dogs lie.
According to him, he had reflected deeply and consulted broadly on the aftermath of the disclosure he made during an interview broadcast by Joy News TV on January 10, 2021.
The vociferous Asawase MP, who is the Minority Chief Whip, signed a statement issued last Saturday in which he admitted that, because he did not specifically name any judge in his allegation, that may have had the effect of scandalising the judiciary in its entirety, and as such, “this unintended consequence is deeply regretted.”
