Allotey Jacobs has jabbed the Minority in Parliament, claiming they are showing the electorate that all is not well in the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Making his submissions on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' about the bribery allegations hanging over the neck of the Appointments Committee of Parliament, the NDC stalwart believed the denial of the bribery allegation by the leadership of the Minority, irrespective of the fact that it was raised by one of its own members in Parliament, clearly shows there is division within the caucus.
The Educated Fisherman, as the NDC Central Regional Chairman is affectionately called, explained that considering how the Minority in Parliament is going about the issue with its Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak rubbishing Mr. Ayariga's bribery claims; depicts "a kind of posture that shows that we’re divided even in Parliament....that’s the gospel truth.”
Allotey Jacobs also expressed fears that the minority might be assassinating the character of the Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko.
He noted that though he supports Mahama Ayariga on the issue of the alleged bribery incident in Parliament because the latter is an NDC member, he is however cautious about drawing conclusions.
“I will support Ayariga because he’s a member of my party. Party first! But my fear is that somebody’s [image] somebody’s name is being destroyed," he said.
He called on Parliamentarians to clean the "mess" that has characterized the House by launching a thorough investigation into the issue.
“Character assassination is hurtful and hearsays disgrace a person. If you know what you’re going to say has no basis, don’t go and say it . . . The name of Ghana’s Parliament is in disrepute. And they have to clean the mess,” he said.

Well spoken Chairman
Thanks, Mr Allotey.you are more sensible in opposition. God bless you
This can never be true because the sequence of events shows that Ayariga is a big fat liar. He's got that Okudzato supporting him just to stain Agyarko's reputation and that of this government. I am saying this because 1. If the minority even refuse to pass Agyarko's nomination, it will go to the floor of Parliament for Delibration and voting and with the Majority on Agyarko's side there is no way he will be stopped from becoming the Minister.So where is the wisdom to believe that he will give Bribe? 2. Ayariga is not new to the Parliament so why did he not follow the right process after the so called Bribe incident but he ended up talking about it at an FM station as Radio Gold? 3. Okudzato said he has returned his money but when he was going, he met Ayariga and took that of Ayariga and sent it to Hon Muntaka (Lies) where he met Nii Lantey at Mutaka's Office (Nii Lantey? must it tell us anything?) 4. Hon Muntaka denied any of such thing happening and as devoted Muslim swear with the Quaran. 5. Okudzato was asked to swear with his life if he believes he saying the truth on ADOM FM but he couldn't. 5. You have people like Kwesi Pratt now championing this issue from one media house to another. A WORD TO THE WISE !
ALLOTEY JACOB IS WRONG. THE BRIBERY SCANDAL AT PARLIAMENT SHOWS THAT NDC IS NOT JUST DIVIDED BUT MISCHIEVIOUS, WICKEDDD AND LIARSSSS. THEY ARE NOCTURNAL DIABOLIC CREATURES. HOW COULD MUNTAKA INCITING HIS FAITH AS MUSLIMM WITH AYARIGA AND SWEARING BY ALLAH COULD BE WRONGG. THAT WOULD BE MORE SERIOUS THAN THE BRIBERYY ITSELF CONSIDERING HIS POSITION AS AN MP AND THE CHIEF WHIP OF HIS PARTY. AND IF HE IS RIGHT HOW COULD AYARIGA, ABLAKWAH AND SUHUYINI FABRICATE SUCH AND EVILL AND SCANDOLOUS AGAINST AGYARKO, OSEI OWUSU AND MUNTAKA. THIS IS CLEAR THAT NDC PARTY CONSISTS OF VERY MISCHIEVIOUS PEOPLE. BOTH MUNTAKA AND AYARIGA GROUP CANNOT BE RIGHT AND THE EVILL OF ANY OF THEM IS VERY DAMAGING TO NDC PARTY.
NDC is divided???? This is the most unbelievable news ever in the history of contemporary Ghana politics. When did it happen Jacobs Allotey??? Jacobs Allotey are you sure?...lol. Ma sr3333 saaaa. Ayariga will eat dirt, trust me. He is going to be the greatest scapegoat under this 4th Republic, just watch. Agyarko to pay bribe to Ayariga for what????
The problem here is that, why Mr Ayariga did not keep the money as an evidence but sent it away? what was the color of the envelop that the money was in? Why Ayariga did not take pictures to show, or any recordings of them telling Muntaka to take the money away, can Ayarika give a serial numbers of at least five of the ten and twenty cedis note? Because he said the notes were tens and twenties. Why no one in the minority kept his money as an evidence? this is shocking papa. you see the northern region chairman of npp showed a car as an evidence of bribery so i was expecting the minority to keep the money as an evidence, now Muntaka is saying it is false, who is lying now
MY FATHER AND A SUPPORTER OF NDC WAS SAYING NPP WAS DIVIDED THIS WORKED AGAINST THE PARTY DURING ELECTION IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR OUR LEADERS TO TELL THE TRUTH EVEN LAST MINUTE THEY TOLD US WE ARE IN COMFORTABLE LEAD MR. ALLOTEY KNOWS THE GROUPING HATRED DISRESPECT PLUS CORRUPTION STEALING AND CHEATING SOON OUR LEADERS WILL BE IN PRISON AS A LESSON.J.J. IS NOW LAUGHING.
I think Allotey Jacobs is getting matured in opposition but I disagree with his 'my party first' we can't build a nation with my party first. The country Ghana must be first,hence did Ayariga take Ghana first?did he had a thought of Ghana's Parliament at stake in the face of the world? Or he thought ndc represent Ghana? Mahama,Mohammed Ayariga is a pathological liar who even changed his name anywhere he went to school can such a person be trusted for a whole country to make him a minister if the one in charge the president wasn't of the same feathers. John Mahama was a disgrace to Ghana and his appointees continue to disgrace the nation,what sort and kind of people are you? Don't you fear God? So,ndc don't believe their humiliation was from God? to the extent the founder and leader have found everything wrong with this crop of ndc and the TRUTH. He said to the Volta caucus that ' ndc have ambushed and Taki g the 'TRUTH HOSTAGE' and they need God to lead the party but not him. This shows how ndc are far away from the Truth. My advise to the NPP is just ignore them in Parliament and Go ahead with whatever good intention you have for the nation since light and darkness can never co-exist.
It is a good move by Mr. Jacob keep it up
GHANA 🇬🇭 MY MOTHERLAND FIRST!
