In a shocking revelation, a former student of the University of Ghana, Legon, has come forward with allegations of trading grades for sexual favors against Prof Kingsley Nyarko, a Member of Parliament representing the Kwadaso constituency.
The accuser, identified as Amouse Bouche, disclosed the disturbing details on social media, recounting how Prof Nyarko allegedly made her university experience a nightmare with unethical behavior.
Whatsup News has not been able to verify the allegation.
The explosive revelation comes in the aftermath of another controversy involving the MP, where he was caught on camera allegedly bribing Electoral Commission officials during a by-election.
Prof Nyarko, a former executive director of pro-NPP policy think tank Danquah Institute, whose political journey has been smooth so far until last Tuesday, is being accused of trading grades for sexual favours while serving as a lecturer.
The former female student of the Deputy Education Minister designate, one Amouse Bouche, a Canadian based Ghanaian chef, revealed the bombshell on Tuesday April 30.
The incident followed by WhatSup News according to Amaouse Bouche, happened some 11 years ago. It is unclear if the incident was reported to authorities and what was done about it.
The obvious unethical act was made public immediately after the deputy minister designate was captured live on television during the Ejisu by-election bribing Electoral Commission (EC) with unstated cash amount in an envelope.
According to the MP’s accuser, her days at Ghana’s premiere university were made miserable courtesy Prof Nyarko, one time Executive Director for the National Accreditation Board.
Amouse Bouche who made the disclosure on ‘X’, formerly Twitter with excitement and laughing emoji said “The lecturer, who used to insinuate he would change grades for sexual favours and made my life hell in Legon, Psychology at JQB especially, was caught on camera bribing at a polling station today. Woow woow woow”.
In a series of tweets, Amouse who could not hide her joy said hope the current incident will mark the beginning of his end.
“I hope Dr. Kingsley Nyarko has met his end. My vengeance has 11 years late but very sweet all the same”, he said.
From WhatSup New’s monitoring of event, the former University of Ghana student had told many associates of hers including her mother.
This can be deduce from a tweet by another X user who appear to know Amouse who said she was informed just last week about it someone she called “mummy”.
The X handle Danielle Daku-Mante claimed “Muumy was just telling me about this last week when she came over. Look at God.”
Amouse then came back to reply with a laughing emoji again saying “Our God doesn’t wear flip flops at all”.
Amouse said she was not making the issue public because she wanted people to make political capital out of it but she was just happy that her one time lecturer and tormenter has been exposed one way or the other.
It is important to state that this is not the first time a lecturer is being accused in this manner. In the past, popular lecturers have been caught up in undercover investigations however, this is the first time a student from the University of Ghana is publicly accusing this particular lecturer turned politician.
Recall that last Tuesday, Prof Kingsley Nyarko unexpectedly made himself the centre of attraction in the middle of the just ended Ejisu by-election.
The MP who together with his colleague deputy ministers and ministers are yet to be approved by Parliament was captured on national television offering money to two EC officers.
Even though the MP is yet to be invited by the police, days after the incident, the EC on the day of the incident issued two statements one of which indicated that it has asked it officials to stand aside for further investigations.
The electoral management said that it preliminary investigation to the matter said the envelope was dropped on the table for it temporal officers for lunch.
Some unenthused Ghanaians have already called out the police for being silent on the issue while others including private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu have called on the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng, to take the issue up as it borders on bribery and corruption.
Meanwhile, Dr Kingsley Nyarko has called the bluff of all those who think he should be arrested for his conduct at Ejisu. According to the MP, he is clear in his mind that he committed no illegality contrary to what is being bundled around.
He has this morning May 2 sought to explain himself further about the bribery incident saying he is convinced he did nothing untoward but he is ready to submit himself for any investigation. He also rendered an apology to the EC and Ghanaians as a whole.
