  "summary": "Minority Leader Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Government, accusing it of executive incompetence, majority tyranny, and a timid judiciary, which he believes is eroding citizens' faith in democracy. He expressed concern over recent disasters such as the June 29 floods and fire outbreak, questioning the government's response and calling for accountability. Regarding economic matters, Afenyo-Markin criticized the Mid-Year Review of the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy, citing discrepancies in figures and calling for clarification from the Minister of Finance. His address also touched on parliamentary inquiries into a military helicopter crash and a recruitment exercise, as well as the passage of a bill establishing district and regional tribunals, which the Minority deemed inconsistent with recommendations from the Constitutional Review Committee.",
