The former chief of staff, Mr. Kofjo Mpiani has snapped at Hon. P. C. Appiah Ofori, for alleging that the former majority leader and the NPP members in Parliament took $5000 each from the government as bribe before voting in favour of the GT-Vodafone deal.
Speaking on Peace FMs Kokrokoo Morning Show, Mr. Mpiani said Hon. Ofori Appiah was telling lies to gain public attention and to make him (P.C) look like a saint or someone who fights corruption whereas he is not.
He also told P.C Appiah Ofori to get away with his lies and pretence. According to Mr. Mpiani, the government never bribed the MPs to vote. They voted in favour because they realised that Ghana Telecom was collapsing. But Hon. Appiah Ofori insisted they were bribed, but he did not receive his share because at that time he had gone out.
He disclosed to Peace FM that he was told by one of the beneficiaries but said he cannot recollect their names. However, Hon. Doe Adjaho whose name came up during these allegations told Peace FM that Hon. Ofori never mentioned the names of those beneficiaries who revealed the scandal to him - but just him called to find out if he had any information on the said matter.
