Parliament: Debate on Cash-for-Seat report begins today

-
Parliament will Tuesday begin a debate on the report of the bipartisan committee that probed allegations of extortion made against the Trades Ministry and a private event organiser.

The Minority in Parliament called for the probe into claims that the Ministry, with the assistance of Millennium Excellence Foundation, extorted up to $100,000 from expatriate business owners to allow them to sit close to President Akufo-Addo during the Ghana Expatriates Business Awards late last year.

The report was laid on the floor of Parliament last week Friday.

The bipartisan Committee has been divided over the Minority National Democratic Congress (NDC)'s decision to prepare and leak a separate report.

The report released by the Minority indicted some persons of interests in the probe, including the Ministry of Trade and the organisers of the event.

The Minority side of the Committee concluded that the Ministry of Trade engaged in multiple infractions including breaches of the public financial management law and multiple ethical violations.

It also said the Millennium Excellence Foundation, among other things, presented forged evidence to the Committee.
