The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has called for the immediate dismissal of Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu.
Addressing the media after operatives of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) stormed the home of Assin South MP and Ranking Member on Parliament's Interior and Defence Committee, Rev Ntim Fordjour, to execute an arrest warrant, he accused Mr Kwakye of undermining President John Mahama’s authority over recent drug-related allegations.
Mr Afenyo-Markin expressed his displeasure with Mr Kwakye Ofosu’s public comments dismissing calls for investigations into alleged underground dealings in illicit drugs.
According to the Majority Leader, instead of supporting the President’s directive for a collaborative investigation into the matter, Kwakye Ofosu arrogantly dismissed the allegations and questioned their credibility — a move he described as “bizarre” and disrespectful to the office of the President.
He argued that Kwakye Ofosu’s actions undermined the authority of the President.
"In fact, I even applaud the president. The President quickly responded by saying that there should be a collaborative investigation. Then all of a sudden, the spokesperson to the president, who is throwing his weight about.... he must be sacked. He is undermining the position of the president."
