Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has come under fire for controversial comments regarding the NDC's Essikado Ketan MP's elevation.
While speaking on the floor of Parliament, the Minority Leader suggested that Dr. Grace Ayensu Danquah had been privileged with an appointment over other female MPs, including Dr. Zanetor Agyeman Rawlings, for what he described as "strange reasons."
The remarks drew immediate criticism, particularly from Deputy Health Minister-designate Dr. Danquah, who was present in the chamber.
She took strong exception to the comments, calling them "problematic" and demanding that they be expunged from parliamentary records.
