Spokesperson on Gender and Social Protection on the NDC’s Manifesto Committee, Shamima Muslim, has taken a swipe at the Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin for calling the NDC ‘violent’.

Reacting to the recent scuffles at collation centres as well as the vandalism and looting of state property by some persons after the December 7 polls, Mr Afenyo-Markin admonished the NDC leadership to call its members to order.

Speaking with Luv FM’s David Akuetteh in Kumasi, Shamima Muslim chided the MP for describing the party as violent, indicating the NPP had spearheaded more violent acts than the NDC.

“What’s more violent than what you have done to Ghanaians? What’s more violent than pushing elderly pensioners to their graves? What’s more violent than taking people’s life savings? What’s more violent than destroying people’s businesses and having people who have worked for this country speak on TV in tears?” she queried.

Ms Muslim continued: “What’s more violent than the violence we’ve seen in your own constituency in your attempt to cling to power? What’s more violent than the corruption you have shepherded over? What’s more violent than the appropriation of state assets that we have witnessed from their government? They must tone down”.

She notes the NPP government has failed to grasp that their “arrogance” and “intransigence” are part of the reasons Ghanaians voted them out of governance.

She asked the NPP to shun their “arrogant stance” and rather support constructive criticism to build the country.

“If they insist on being arrogant and intransigent as I have heard, Afenyo-Markin has already started to throw his hands about. It still hasn’t sunk in – what Ghanaians tried to tell them. The posturing of some of them, speaking and criticizing and trying to lay blame. Afenyo-Markin is trying to say, "Call your violent party to order,” said Shamima.
