In 2021, the accused person, Mr Kantanka was alleged to have paid monies to some assembly members to influence them to confirm his nomination by President Nana Akufo-Addo. 

However, after the assembly members voted against his nomination, he was alleged to have openly called the assembly members to demand a refund of the monies. 

Some of the affected assembly members reported his conduct to the Office of the Special Prosecutor and after investigations, he was charged and brought before the court.
