Lawyer and Media Practitioner, Samson Lardy Anyenini has repudiated the use of euphemisms seeking to justify alleged payments of monies to members of the Appointments Committee of Parliament by the Executive for doing their job.
He says no matter what colouration is given to the act of the executive paying money before, during or after the work of the Committee, it falls flat within the realm of corruption.
Former First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei-Owusu, while on Joy News' PM Express on Wednesday, claimed a committee he chaired to vet appointees of the erstwhile Nana Akufo-Addo administration, were paid money by the then Chief of Staff.
He called the money 'facilitation', and rejected suggestions it falls within the bribery bracket.
