Some political theatrics is brewing out of the camp of Ghana’s Presbyterian church as a former official has come out to debunk the assertions made by its outgoing moderator in Accra Tuesday.
Rev Prof. Emmanuel Martey said at a press conference yesterday that a major party in the country had attempted to bribe him with $100,000 and a house with a pool, a bribe he refused. 
But Dr. Emmanuel Osei Acheampong, the former Public Relations Officer of the church, says Martey’s story is false. According to him, he has first hand knowledge that Martey actually collected the bribe and and vehicle.
“Today marks a sad day for the Christian religion, the statement from Prof Martey is one of the most unfortunate that I have heard in recent times, a leader should have ethical communication which will not escalate into violence.” he said.
“Jesus never talked this way. Prof Martey is speaking in the opposite way, when he came into office, he presented to us a statement from one of the strongest political parties, when we kicked against it, he sacked me.
“In July 28, 2013, around 8:15pm, he invited me to the office of one of the leading opposition parties, not the ruling government. When I got there he had received the 100,000 dollars and a V8 he is claiming to have rejected. And he gave me 50,000 dollars, I am speaking on authority that he received the money.”
Achaempong, though, said that he rejected the $50,000 bribe.
