Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has called on Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to provide evidence to support his claims that he (Ablakwa) stated during his vetting that he earns only GHC15,000 as a Member of Parliament.
In a direct challenge on The Key Points with Alfred Ocansey, Ablakwa pointed out that the proceedings of the Appointments Committee were broadcast live on multiple media platforms, making it easy to verify statements made during the session. "I challenge the Honorable Afenyo-Markin to prove when, during the vetting, I said that I earned only GHC15,000.
Did you hear me say that?" Ablakwa questioned during an interview on Saturday, February 8.
He further referenced remarks made by Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga on the floor of Parliament, affirming that MPs earn more than GHC15,000.
