No truth in GH¢70k ‘gift’ claims involving Appiagyei, the memo is fake – Deputy Minority Whip
The Minority in Parliament has rejected a document circulating on social media which purportedly shows Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei returning GH¢70,000 allegedly linked to the vetting of government appointees and Supreme Court nominees.
Deputy Minority Whip Jerry Ahmed Shaib has firmly denied claims that Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei returned a GH¢70,000 "gift" to members of Parliament’s Appointments Committee. Shaib, speaking to TV3 on September 4, stated there was "no truth whatsoever" in the reports and urged the public to ignore the circulating information.
He explained that the Deputy Minority Leader, upon receiving the reports, was upset and did not comprehend their origin. Shaib assured the public that neither he nor Appiagyei had received any money and had no knowledge of the source of the alleged payment.
