02-12 18:16:18The MPs must know this for a fact the Ghanaians are not only interested in the probing of the nominees but also, the fact that we want parliament to reject the appointment of a nominee if the said nominee smells of dead rats and highly corrupt carcasses. It must be known to the Minority group of parliament that, all of us have our reservations towards some of the former ministers whose names were involved in some scandals. In fact, it is a known fact that Ghanaians did not elect the MPs to go and take bribes and then approve the appointment of people with QUESTIONABLE past records.
