He was speaking at a press conference held today where he also stated that he will continue to comment on national issues no matter the verbal attacks he receives.
“They have tried all means to muzzle me but they couldn’t and I tell you they can’t.”
He further called on politicians who attack him after he expresses his views to refrain from it.
The outgoing Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt. Rev Prof Emmanuel Martey has revealed that a political party attempted to bribe him with $100,000 to silence him.
“Politicians have tried all means to muzzle me, to get me but they can’t, they come with bribes, fat envelopes, $100, 000…I want everybody to listen that politicians came to my house with $100, 000 and also with the promises that if you keep quiet we will give you a house at Trasaaco with swimming pool.”
Rev Prof Martey said the politicians who tried to bribe him were fortunate there is no dog in his house.
“We will give you Four Wheel drive [vehicle] but you know what, these people were lucky that I do not have big dogs in my house else I would have released the dogs for them to bite them.”
The outgoing Moderator is known for his criticism of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC). He was recently lambasted by members of the NDC when he promised that the Presby Church will support Nana Akufo Addo to develop Ghana if he wins the December 2016 polls.
