A former Special Prosecutor has criticised the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin's proposal to recall for an emergency session on November 28 and 29, 2024 describing it as pointless.
In a statement issued on Sunday, November 24, 2024, he described the move as unrealistic and a threat to Ghana's democratic process, arguing that it seeks to prioritise partisan government interests over the concerns of the electorates.
According to him, the memorandum is impractical, especially given the limited time available before the December 7 elections. "The Majority Leader's memorandum and request to the Speaker, less than two weeks to the 7 December 2024 elections, is unrealistic considering the business proposed to be transacted within two days unless there is a prior agenda and agreement between the Speaker and the leadership of to rush through and railroad the important items on the list of Government Business down the throats of Ghanaians," he stated.
He also accused Afenyo-Markin of ignoring critical national issues, stating that the focus on partisan government business demonstrates a disregard for pressing national issues. "The purposive government mismanagement of the October 2024 Bawku crisis, killing and maiming hundreds of citizens, is not even an agenda item for the Majority Leader," he remarked.
