Oliver Barker-Vormawor apologized to Parliament’s Appointments Committee for his earlier claims about alleged bribery, clarifying that his comments were not meant to disparage the committee.
He explained that his post was intended to highlight broader concerns about corruption and transparency, not directly accuse the committee.
“I am saying here clearly that my post was not intended to disparage members of the committee, and I have not intended to say that members of this committee have received or demanded bribes from various individuals. At no point was my statement intended to communicate the same, and for those reasons, I apologize.” He said when he appeared before the committee.
He further explained why he had not deleted the post earlier, saying:
“The reason why I have left the post on was because I saw that the words had been twisted, and it became imperative for me to maintain the post in its original form so that, if questioned on it, reference could be made for verification.”
