Member of Parliament for Nkwanta North, John Oti Kwabena Bless, has accused the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, of instigating the chaos that erupted during the recent vetting process on the night of Thursday, January 30.
Testifying before the investigative committee probing the disturbances, Mr Oti Bless claimed that the Minority Leader deliberately refused to intervene when his members engaged in violent actions, leading to the destruction of public property. "All the things that happened that day were caused by the Minority Leader, Afenyo-Markin.
A leader who stands by and watches his members vandalise and destroy public property without uttering a word or stopping them is as guilty as those involved," he stated.
He further alleged that the Minority Leader ignored multiple pleas from his colleagues to allow Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, health minister nominee to be vetted that evening. "What I saw was that Dr Afriyie, the Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, and most of the Minority members all initially wanted Akandoh to be vetted.
