Five years after his arrest for protesting against the construction of a new parliamentary chamber, Ernesto Yeboah, leader of the Economic Fighters League, has strongly criticised the latest call by Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Kwamigah Afenyo-Markin, for MPs to have a new chamber and a special hospital.
Speaking to JoyNews, Yeboah expressed disappointment that Ghana's only parliamentary opposition is more concerned with personal comfort than the struggles of ordinary citizens. "It is quite disappointing that the only opposition party we have in Parliament is fixated on their personal comfort rather than the broader interests of the people.
This is why we continue to push for electoral reforms," he said.
He urged President John Mahama to support proportional representation, arguing that it would help address the lack of a credible opposition in Ghana's Parliament.
