Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah has criticised social activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor, insisting that he must face the consequences of his actions over allegations that the Appointments Committee demands money from ministerial nominees before approving them.
Speaking during Barker-Vormawor's appearance before the Appointments Committee on Wednesday, January 29, Mr Boamah accused him of making serious claims without taking responsibility.
He referenced two social media posts made by Barker-Vormawor on 24th and 25th January 2025, where he alleged that nominees were paying for approval.
In the first post, dated 24th January at 9:25 pm, Barker-Vormawor wrote: "So all the money the ministerial appointees are being asked to pay to the Appointments Committee just to get approved, are those ones not affected by the ORAL?" The second post, on 25th January, directly accused NDC members of the vetting committee of taking money from Mahama's ministerial nominees before approving them.
