Bekwai MP Joseph Osei-Owusu has called out journalists for what he describes as hypocrisy in the debate over financial facilitation in Parliament.
Affectionately called Joe Wise, the veteran politician questioned why the media would criticize parliamentary processes when they, too, often request logistical support for their work. "You media men ask people and agencies that invite you to do their work to facilitate your work all the time, don't you?
Do you call that bribery?" he asked pointedly during an interview on Joy FM monitored by MyNewsGh.
His comments come amid discussions about how Parliament secures funds for its operations, particularly in cases where budget allocations are delayed.
