  "summary": "Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei has assured cooperation with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) should they formally invite her to assist in their ongoing preliminary investigation into an alleged GH¢70,000 payment linked to Parliament’s vetting of ministerial and Supreme Court nominees. The OSP announced on Friday, September 4, that it had commenced its investigation following concerns surrounding the source and purpose of the funds, as a purported memorandum attributed to Appiagyei surfaced. Appiagyei, speaking on JoyFM’s Top Story, stated that she has not been contacted by the OSP and confirmed her willingness to cooperate only after receiving an official invitation.",
