Private legal practitioner, Oliver Barker-Vormawor will be appearing before the Appointments Committee in Parliament today Wednesday, January 29 over the allegation that committee members take monies to approve ministerial nominees.

He is expected to appear before the Committee on, at noon after the summons.
The Committee in responding to the allegations denied his claim that some members have requested monies from ministerial nominees to approve their nomination.

On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, the Committee before beginning its vetting of Defence Minister-designate, Dr. Omane Boamah stated that its attention has been drawn to the false allegation by the legal practitioner in a Facebook post on Friday, January 24.

Chairman of the Committee, Bernard Ahiafor took exception to the allegations and demanded that Oliver appears before the Committee to substantiate his claims.

“We invite Oliver Barker-Vormawor to appear before the Committee tomorrow (Wednesday, January 29,2025) at noon to provide evidence on whether the vetting Committee or any member that we demand money before vetting or approval,” he stated.

The Minority members on the Committee argued that their reputation has been tarnished, insisting they will only proceed with the vetting process once the matter is resolved.

“I think that we should not continue with today’s vetting, it’s reputational. Our reputation is at stake” Minority Chief Whip, stated.

This occurred during vetting on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, stalling the vetting process.
Meanwhile, the Majority MPs suggested that the House should continue with the vetting process, while the matter is dealt with, and that Parliament cannot be incapacitated because of mere allegations.

Barker-Vormawor, confirmed that he would honour an invitation to appear before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Wednesday.
This follows allegations he made that some committee members have been soliciting bribes from ministerial nominees in exchange for approval.
In a tweet shared on Tuesday, Barker-Vormawor stated: “This is how a democracy improves. I look forward to appearing before the Appointments Committee tomorrow. Thank you.”
