The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has revealed how former President John Mahama once intervened on his behalf when his business was facing challenges.

According to the Member of Parliament, who is also an astute businessman running a haulage company, his business was deliberately frustrated due to political affiliations.

Speaking at the Kwahu Business Forum on Saturday, April 19, 2025, Afenyo-Markin shared some of the challenges faced by private businesses.

He disclosed that when he could no longer tolerate the unfair treatment being meted out to his company, he sought the help of John Mahama, who was then Vice President in 2009. "I recall when there was a change in government in 2008 and the new administration came into office, I was operating a route from Aflao to Buipe.
