According to the majority leader, Haruna told President Akufo-Addo that if the police continue the investigation into the matter, it would bring the name of parliament into disrepute. Some of the ex-appointees are said to have conceded that indeed they were paid double and looking for the opportunity to refund the moneys. The double salary scandal appears to have rattled the opposition NDC whose MPs – past and present – have been visiting the police CID headquarters to assist in investigations over their supposed involvement in the scandal.
