The Minority Chief Whip, Alhaji Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, has opened up about the bribery scandal that hit Parliament’s Appointments Committee, describing the experience as “very painful.”<\/p>\n
According to Alhaji Muntaka, the most painful aspect of the ordeal, that saw bribery allegations<\/a><\/strong><\/span> leveled against some Members of the Appointments Committee, was dealing with the fact that the allegations were made by his best friend, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga.<\/p>\n Speaking on the Point Blank segment of Eyewitness News<\/strong>, he said “I really wish it never happened. I wish I didn\u2019t have to be in\u00a0between my best friend and whoever he wanted to accuse.
