National Democratic Congress stalwart and former Ghana Ambassador to the Netherlands, Dr.
Tony Aidoo has slammed Minority Leader and MP for Efutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, saying his deeply held belief of being gentle contradicts sharply with his aggressive actions.
According to Tony Aidoo, Afenyo-Markin's boisterous behaviour at the Appointments Committee of Parliament is very characteristic of the New Patriotic Party breed of politicians, saying the Minority Leader is suffering a cognitive dissonance. "Afenyo-Markin's behaviour, excuse me to say, he is having a very tough case of cognitive dissonance", Tony Aidoo said while contributing to a discussion of the recent happenings in parliament, particularly at the vetting of ministerial nominees at the Appointments Committee. "Cognitive dissonance in socio-psychological terms, says that when your cognitive elements appear to conflict, you are compelled to restore consonance by either eliminating or devaluing one of the elements that you believe is busy.
And that is how Afenyo-Markin has been behaving," explained Dr.
