Kingsley Nyarko, the member of parliament for Kwadaso, should be arrested right away, according to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The legislator was seen on camera on Tuesday during the Ejisu by-election giving two officials of the Electoral Commission what appeared to be cash. This led to the call.

The money the MP gave the staff was intended for lunch, according to the results of the Electoral Commission’s initial investigations.

Deputy General Secretary of the NDC Mustapha Gbande, however, expressed his extreme surprise that the lawmaker is still free to move about freely in an interview with Citi News.

“We are calling on the Ghana Police Service to immediately arrest the suspected bribe giver who is a member of parliament. It is quite shameful that a lawmaker will be bribing a public official who is performing his or her duty and up to date, he is walking. We cannot apply the law selectively, depending on the individual involved. Whether you are the president, face the law.

“A poor electoral commission officer, who accepts bribe because the economy is very difficult and she’s broke, accepts bribe, and we are punishing her and leaving the corrupt or the suspected criminal who is giving bribe. A lawmaker of Kwadaso.”
