Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei rejects GH¢70k gift allegedly linked to Ayariga, Zanetor vetting

‘I don’t want to benefit personally’ Mrs Appiagyei’s decision comes against the backdrop of the Minority Caucus’ refusal to participate in the vetting of three Supreme Court nominees after objecting to the procedure adopted by the Parliamentary Appointments Committee.

Mrs Appiagyei’s return of the GH¢70,000 therefore reflects both her concern about the source of the money and her decision not to personally benefit from a parliamentary process in which the Minority has formally raised objections.

Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei has rejected GH¢70,000 sent to her by the Majority Chief Whip, saying she does not want to personally benefit from a parliamentary process involving the vetting of members of the governing side’s leadership.
