Majority Leader in Parliament and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, says there is no need to put pressure on the incoming government as it prepares to assume power on January 7.

According to him, he foresees potential conflicts and inconsistencies within the incoming Mahama-led administration, particularly regarding how the government will fund social intervention programs, especially if it moves forward with plans to scrap taxes.

Speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show on Wednesday, December 18, Afenyo-Markin suggested that the incoming government should be given a grace period of one hundred days to establish itself.

“However, I would want to give them a grace period. I want to see how they go about their governance in the first hundred days. The first hundred days, we should give them that opportunity to set up the government,” he stated.

He further urged the public to exercise patience with the incoming government once it is given the constitutional mandate.

“We shouldn’t be in a rush; that would be bad fate on my part. That would mean I’m being unreasonable, no. I have been in government before; I know how governance is, so I wouldn’t want to rush them,” he said.

Also, Afenyo-Markin raised concerns about how the incoming government plans to fund the committee set up to implement the "Operation Recover All Loot" (ORAL) initiative.

This initiative aims to combat corruption by investigating allegations, recovering misappropriated state resources, and prosecuting offenders.
