The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Joe Osei-Wusu has revealed he flared up when President Akufo-Addo refused to appoint him as a minister.
The Member of Parliament for Bekwai told Starr Chat host Bola Ray he had always eyed to don the cloak of a Minister, but missing the train dampened his spirit.
“I was expecting to become a minister,” Osei-Wusu stated on Wednesday.
“I was disappointed and angry,” he confessed, adding “And I made it clear and wasn’t expected to be a Speaker. But God has a way of letting you where you belong.”
Osei-Wusu, who is the chairman of the Appointments Committee of Parliament, stated he eventually accepted the position of a first deputy speaker after three rounds of pleas from chiefs and elders of his hometown.
The lawmaker whose reputation was on the line recently when the MP for Bawku Central Mahama Ayariga accused him of being used as a conduit to bribe the minority on the committee during the vetting of the Energy Minister, said his relationship with the National Democratic Congress former minister has never been smooth since.
He said he was satisfied with the report of the Joe Ghartey Committee which investigated the bribery allegation against him.
“I have forgiven him,” Osei-Wusu said of Ayariga.

Was it not sammy awuku who said in upper east that military form will be free. why are they selling it for 100 cedis. heer these guys are deceptive. and Haruna Iddrissu and co are sitting down taking bribe without hitting them hard on their failed promises.
SEE Joe Osei-Wusu? U WANT A POST? UPON ALL THE DISGRACE? SHAMEFUL MP GREEDY...
With the current visa fraud hanging on the neck of parliament, I am intended to believe the bribery allegation as well. Our parliament is full of crooks but because of the power they wield, they always use that to intimidate their critics. Would not be surprise if a bombshell pops up before the expiry of this parliament.
How can u be a minister? You let NDC foooooools like ayariga and ablakwa make a ***barred word*** out of you during the appointments sittings. And you are surprised that you did not become a minister? Only and eddddiot like you will let the NDC foooooool you! We don't want a minister who can be fooooooooooled by edddddiots in NDC.
