In an uncommon instance of bipartisan unity, a Member of Parliament from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has openly commended Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, describing him as "a very kind, lovely person." In a welcome departure from the frequently heated political arguments, the surprise tribute occurred during an event in Tsiame in the Volta Region, where the Minority Leader-who is also the Member of Parliament for Effutu in the Central Region-donated 100 hair dryers and 100 sewing machines to empower women in the Tsiame community.
The event, which drew hundreds from Tsiame, Asadame, and surrounding communities in the Keta constituency, emphasized collaboration beyond political lines and underscored the vital role of women in community development.
The MP for Keta, Kwami Dzudzorli Gakpey, in his brief speech, praised Afenyo-Markin-whose father hails from Tsiame-for his calm demeanor, tactful leadership, and generous gestures, many of which are made quietly behind the scenes. "I would like to inform the general public that today's occasion is not a party activity.
It is the homecoming of our beloved brother, a son of the soil.
