A former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has commended Asawase Member of Parliament, Muntaka Mubarak for apologizing to the Supreme Court over his bribery allegation against an unnamed Justice of the highest court of the land.
Koku Anyidoho in a tweet said “I congratulate Hon Muntaka for being a man & apologising to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Ghana. Let posterity judge all of us by good conscience.”
Muntaka has apologised for the bribery accusation he made against a justice of the Supreme Court after the elections of a speaker for the 8th Parliament.
Portions of his apology read “Based upon good counsel, I have also decided to let sleeping dogs lie and will consequently refrain from any further public commentary on the matter which, as I have indicated was originally reported to me by a female colleague Parliamentarian.”
But some persons have said his apology should not obstruct the judicial inquiry into the matter.
For instance, a US-based Ghanaian Professor, Kweku Asare has said the allegation, if true, is serious enough to warrant some consequences. And equally, if it is false and had no basis, is serious enough to warrant some consequences.
