Member of Parliament for Asawase, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka has apologized for making bribery allegations against a justice of the Supreme Court.
Mr. Muntaka had alleged that a Supreme Court judge had promised to extend some privileges to a female National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) if she voted for New Patriotic Party (NPP) Speaker of Parliament nominee, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye.
The Minority Chief Whip in a statement, retracted and apologized for his comments which in his view had damaged the reputation of the Justices of the Supreme Court and the Judiciary.
He said he has decided to let sleeping dogs lie and will consequently refrain from any further public comment on the matter.
The Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin-Yeboah had earlier said the judiciary had taken a serious view of Mr. Muntaka’s allegation.
