Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has accused the NDC Majority of employing intimidation tactics against his caucus, insisting that his side will not succumb to pressure.
Speaking to the press, Afenyo-Markin expressed frustration over what he described as unfair treatment from the Majority, despite his caucus’s willingness to cooperate on government matters.
“This is the first time in the history of the 4th Republic that a Minority in Parliament is allowing the government to form, appoint its ministers in record time,” he said.
According to him, despite their cooperation, the Majority continues to “bully and intimidate” the Minority.
“We’ve been most cooperative with the NDC Majority, but they are bullies. They bully. They intimidate, and if you don’t stand strong, they will bully you. We will never be bullied,” he stressed.
The Minority Caucus has reaffirmed its commitment to resisting any form of intimidation, declaring that they remain resolute in their duties as the opposition.
“Indeed, we are going through difficult moments, but we will never be intimidated. Aluta continua, victoria acerta. We will not allow ourselves to be cowered. The mighty few and the happy few, we are going to stand our ground and ensure that the right thing is done all in the national interest,” Afenyo-Markin emphasized.
Despite these tensions, he assured that the Minority had no intention of obstructing government business but would continue to hold the Majority accountable.
“We are not going to fight anybody, we are not going to disrupt and obstruct government business. So far, we have been the most cooperative in the chamber, and the NDC should applaud us for supporting them,” he added.
