The Asante Akim North MP, Andy Appiah-Kubi has dismissed claims that the Majority caucus was induced with money to abandon their demand for the removal of the Finance Minister.
“Did we take money? You think we will do that? I will come out with information that we are beyond the bribe; our motivation is not the financial inducement.
"We don’t have money in our pockets but at least we have a conscience,” he told Raymond Acquah on JoyNews’ Upfront on Thursday, October 27.
This comes after the Majority MPs numbering about 95 backtracked on their request for the immediate dismissal of Ken Ofori-Atta and the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu-Boahen, over their poor performance.
They said the continuous stay of Ken Ofori-Atta in the office is delaying the IMF bailout the country is seeking due to the fact that the Minister has lost all credibility.
But after a meeting with the President, the NPP MPs reached a compromise to allow the embattled ministers to stay in office till after the IMF negotiation is done.
Some Ghanaians have suggested that money might have changed hands but Mr Appiah-Kubi has denied the claims.
He threatened to take on anybody who fuels such accusations or plans to influence any of the MPs leading the charge with money.
“Let anybody give me any sense of accusing anyone of us [majority MPs] of having taken anything and I challenge anybody to do that, and I will be happy if somebody does that because I want to have the opportunity to prove something.
We are not motivated by any materialistic considerations. We will not reduce ourselves to that situation. I warn you that anybody who wants to attempt, please be advised,” he added.
