General News of Sunday, 4 September 2016Source: citifmonline.comProf Martey’s bribery claims a waste of time – Casely-HayfordSydney Casely-HayfordAnti-corruption campaigner and a member of Occupy Ghana, Sydney Casely-Hayford, has described recent claims made by the outgoing moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, that he rejected some bribes from politicians, as a waste of the Ghanaian public’s time. According to him, it was needless for Professor Martey to make the revelations if he did not accept the bribes that were allegedly offered him. If he didn’t take the money then there’s no point talking about it. He claimed that he had been offered gifts by politicians including 100,000 dollars and a Trasacco House, all of which he rejected. However, a former Public Relations Officer of the church, Emmanuel Osei Akyeampong, has said that Professor Martey accepted the bribe of $100,000, a claim which has since been denied by the Presbyterian Church.
