Deputy Minority Leader rejects GH¢70k ‘gift’, says she won’t extort Supreme Court judges

It is recalled that members of the Minority Caucus in Parliament walked out of proceedings during the vetting of three Supreme Court judge nominees on August 27, citing what they described as an irregular procedure adopted by the Appointments Committee leadership.

Before leaving the session, the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, stated the Caucus’ objection to the procedure adopted by the Committee’s leadership.

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 Supreme Court nominees that her Caucus had refused to participate in.
