Kwamena Afenyo-Markin
November 5, 2021
The Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo Markin has urged members of Parliament, especially those on the Minority side to stop all forms of comments that would escalate tension on the police and Madina MP, Mr. Francis Xavier Sosu in the media.
According to him, the media would always like to strive hard to get their stories but in order to maintain peace on the matter, members of Parliament should hold themselves from commenting on the matter.
Mr. Afenyo Markin further advised Mr. Sosu to hold himself well in order to cooperate with the appropriate authorities handling the matter in order to get to the bottom of the case since he is not the first person as an MP to have suffered such incident.
His comments came up when the deputy minority Chief Whip and MP for Banda, Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim raised concerns about a press statement from the Majority caucus which was released on Thursday, November 5, 2021.
Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim noted that the Majority caucus’ release seems to implicate the Rt Hon Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin for being a stumbling block in the way of the police when he refused to releasing the Madina MP, Mr. Sosu to the police to carry their investigations and others processes.
