The Deputy Minority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei, has described the Speaker’s decision to refer the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, to the Privileges Committee of Parliament as a calculated attempt to gag the Minority Caucus and cause deep division among members.
She accused both the Speaker and the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, of scheming a coordinated campaign of intimidation, harassment, and institutional abuse to remove the Minority Leader from the ECOWAS Parliament.
She explained that the two removed Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s name from Ghana's delegation to ECOWAS Parliament without any consultation or seeking her consent.
“This is a cynical, diabolical, and constitutionally perverse scheme ever orchestrated within the precincts of Ghana’s Parliament,” she said, saying that the move had embarrassed Ghana before the community of West African nations.
