We are in trouble – Inusah Fuseini warns MPs are trading away public trust

Former Tamale Central MP Inusah Fuseini has warned that the controversy surrounding allegations against Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin goes beyond one politician and raises broader questions about public trust in Parliament.

Former Tamale Central MP Inusah Fuseini has cautioned that the controversy surrounding allegations against Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin extends beyond a single individual, raising concerns about public trust in Parliament. In an interview on Joy News’ PM Express, Fuseini emphasized that the issue goes to the core of the relationship between elected representatives and the people who entrusted them with their mandate.

He highlighted that the 276 MPs represent over 30 million Ghanaians, and any perception that they prioritize personal gain over the public interest could seriously undermine public confidence in the institution. Fuseini argued that MPs were entrusted with managing public resources for the benefit of the people, and any conduct that suggests otherwise could erode the legitimacy of Parliament.

He urged Ghanaians to view the allegations not merely as a dispute between Afenyo-Markin and GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi, but as a broader concern about the integrity of the democratic process and the commitment of elected representatives to serve the collective interests of the nation.
