Abu Jinapor and Minority shall not be silenced; Ablakwa was loud when in opposition – Afenyo-Markin

The Minority caucus has firmly declared that Members of Parliament Samuel Abu Jinapor and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, both of whom are facing scrutiny, will not be silenced. Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin stated that the caucus is committed to holding the government and its officials accountable, drawing parallels to Ablakwa's conduct while in opposition.

On Wednesday, November 4, Afenyo-Markin addressed the media and emphasized that Jinapor will not be silenced, echoing Ablakwa's outspoken nature during his time as an opposition member. He added that Ablakwa, too, faced no silencing when he was in opposition, citing his vocal stance in demanding accountability from the previous government.

Afenyo-Markin reminded the public that Ablakwa was never silenced during his opposition days, where he was "loud" and uncompromising. He urged Ablakwa to defend the principles he championed then, arguing that his current position should not grant him immunity from scrutiny. Afenyo-Markin challenged Ablakwa to publicly defend his past actions, maintaining that his accountability should not be compromised due to his present role.

The Minority Leader reiterated the caucus's unwavering commitment to its oversight responsibilities, vowing to continue its mission despite the challenges it may face. He described the minority caucus as small but firm in conviction, reaffirming their determination to speak on behalf of the Ghanaian people.
