The Minority Spokesman on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni has disclosed that the government has set up a machinery to bribe members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament.

He described the situation as ''plain bribery'' and added that the NPP had approached him with a juicy appointment to lure him to their side.

Alhaji Mumuni told the ''Evening News'' that several of his colleagues in Parliament have also been approached by the NPP with appointments.

Asked to specify the sort of appointment that was offered to him, he declined to comment. ''I will not tell you the sort of approaches that have been made towards me''.

Alhaji Mumuni said it was the intention of the NPP to poach members of other parties in order to create a one-party state. He said the NPP had been uncomfortable with the way the Minority has exposed their lapses in Parliament.

''It is therefore using all unethical tactics to reduce the NDC?s membership in Parliament'', he added.
