Renowned activist and legal practitioner Oliver Barker-Vormawor has denied claims that he accused members of Ghana’s Appointments Committee of corruption.
Addressing the controversy, he made it clear that his words were misinterpreted.
“Mr. Chairman, I categorically disassociate myself from the comments attributed to me and from subsequent remarks made by others suggesting that I accused certain members of this Committee of corruption.
At no point did I state that the Chair of this Committee or members of the NDC had asked for money or submitted themselves to ORA,” he stated.

He also dismissed rumours about his political affiliation, saying, “It is completely untrue that I am a member of the NDC. I have not been one in the past, and I remain committed to my ideological stance with the CPP.”
Barker-Vormawor admittedto considering deleting his social media post but decided against it. “I did contemplate deleting the post.
However, I realized that my words had been twisted, and it became necessary to leave it up in its original form to allow for verification. If I were to be questioned on it, the evidence would be available,” he clarified.
He concluded with an apology, stating, “For those reasons, I apologize. At no point was my statement intended to disparage members of the Committee or suggest that they engaged in corrupt practices.”
