Speaker Among has on Tuesday 5-December-2023 revealed that some MP attempted to solicit a bribe in her name, saying one unnamed MP approached one Managing Director of a public agency under the pretext that he had been sent by the Speaker, prompting Speaker to warn MPs against engaging in such financial fraud as it taints the integrity of Parliament.
“It has come to our notice that some MPs continue to breach the provision of the code of conduct amongst engaging in financial decisions that embed objectivity in the discharge of their duty. I was actually surprised when some Managing Director called me and said, there is some MP has come that you have sent him for something for you,” said Among.
Speaker also encouraged the public to make use of the suggestion box located at the clerk’s office by reporting such cases in order to protect the integrity of the institution of Parliament.
“I want to encourage the public that we put a suggestion box, let us have all those messages put in that suggestion box. And as I have always told you, we should leave this institution better than we got it. Let us protect the integrity of this institution, let us get out of that. We must stand and ensure we and ensure that we do what is right for the institution and leave the rest to God. Let us do what we were sent to do, and we will be able and as leaders, we ought to conduct ourselves in a manner that aids unity and cohesion,” said Speaker Among.
