The Minority in Parliament has condemned what they describe as an attempted intimidation of Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Interior and Defence Committee and Member of Parliament for Assin South. This condemnation follows the MP’s recent allegations concerning two suspicious flights at Kotoka International Airport, which he claimed were transporting drugs and cash.
Speaking to the media after a failed attempt to arrest the MP at his residence in Accra on Wednesday, April 9, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin declared the caucus’ unwavering support for their colleague and their refusal to be intimidated. He described the move by the NIB as politically motivated and aimed at silencing dissent within Parliament.
Afenyo-Markin stressed that the Minority remains committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in investigating the allegations made by the MP and insisted that due process must be followed. He also called on the public to remain alert and support efforts to uphold justice and fairness.
