He said "at no point of my vetting did I feel that confirmation of my nomination was at risk", adding that, "I, therefore, had no motive whatsoever of influencing anybody with regard to my confirmation."
Appearing before the five-member ad hoc committee of Parliament investigating the bribery allegation, Mr Agyarko said "he felt “incredulous about the matter and all I said was I had done no such thing, would not do such thing."
