Member of Parliament for Wa West Constituency, Peter Lanchene Toobu, has argued that unproven allegations of corruption should not hinder the essential work of Parliament.

His remarks came after the Appointments Committee suspended today's vetting process temporarily following claims by social activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor, who accused the committee members of demanding money from the ministerial nominees in exchange for their approval.

Mr Toobu stressed that while those making serious allegations must face the consequences, the work of the committee should not be derailed.

"We all agree that the person making the allegations must face the consequences, but that should not prevent us from doing our job," he told JoyNews' Parliamentary correspondent, Kwaku Asante. "The vetting process must continue, and the person making the allegations must prove them."

Mr Toobu further emphasized that suspending work based on unproven claims would damage the integrity of the country's institutions.

"If we stop working every time an allegation is made, Ghana will never make progress," he warned, adding that allegations should be backed by proof before they can disrupt the work of innocent people.

Mr Toobu concluded by affirming that allegations must be substantiated with evidence, and until then, they should not interfere with the nation's progress. "This is a normal part of parliamentary life, and I believe it will be resolved," he said with confidence.
