It’s never true that we pay to pass Bills in Parliament – Annor Dompreh

The Majority Chief Whip and incumbent Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has refuted allegations circulating in the public domain, suggesting that payments are made to facilitate the passage of bills through the legislative process.

He stated that no one from the Majority Caucus pays money to members from either faction of the House to influence them in favor or against a decision. 

“These claims are false,” he said in an interview. “It’s not about money. It’s about the strategy you employ,” he added. 

The only payments Mr Annor Dompreh acknowledged are made to MPs are payments due them.

“So the payment they are talking about I don’t know what they are talking about. If it’s anything due them, committee allowance , common fund, and anything due them, we give to anyone,” he asserted.

“He, therefore, urged the general public to dismiss any claim suggesting that the Minority in Parliament pays MPs to influence decisions in their favor.”
