Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, K. T Hammond has described the offer by RLG Communications to sponsor the drilling of bore-holes in the various constituencies of MPs as “immoral”
He said: “The concept, its implementation, it everything is immoral and I hate it…I’m beginning to think that this whole associated by malice and the malice is in the form of trying to compromise Members of Parliament.”
RLG on Wednesday wrote to Members of Parliament to select a site in his or her constituency for a bore-hole to be drilled at the expense of the company.
But sharing his thoughts on the matter on Eyewitness News on Wednesday, Mr. Hammond questioned the motive behind the company’s offer.
“We all know what is going on. Everybody is aware of what has taken place in this country with respect to some disbursement of hard earned national resources. What is this company s attempting to do; to compromise Members of Parliament or what?”
According to him, the offer is possibly to keep “MPs quiet by making sure that they have one bore-hole each in the constituencies” because the House debated and discussed the disbursement and alleged misuse of state funds by the mother company of RLG, Agams Group of Companies.
Mr. Hammond stressed that Parliament will reject the offer saying, “we don’t need it. We will say, thank you very much, let’s talk about the guinea fowl money, let’s talk about the monies that have come up in Parliament and we are debating. It’s come at a particularly bad time.”
