“It is a good idea that he should leave the scene. You cannot work with a minister with so many allegations especially when we have so many important things to do. So yes, here the president should step in [but] not in the public domain, but he should call the minister and ask him, 'In the circumstances, will you please resign so that we go into this matter and if everything is fine I will find another thing for you to do?' In my opinion, yes, he should call him not publicly but quietly and say, 'Please, I expect you to resign on this matter so that you can clear your name,'” Mr Asante said on Accra-based Class FM.

Member of Parliament for Bawku Central Mahama Ayariga had earlier indicated on Accra-based Radio Gold that Mr Agyarko, then Energy Minister-designate, had attempted to bribe the members of the Appointments Committee of parliament with GHc3000 each, in a bid to lure them to approve him as the Energy Minister.
The NDC Member of Parliament said they (the minority) received the money thinking it was sitting allowance for being part of the Appointments Committee only to be told it was coming from the minister designate.
He said they rejected the money and asked that the money be returned to him.
The Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Mr Osei Owusu, the minority chief whip in parliament, Mubarak Muntaka, and the Energy Minister have denied the claims.
