You’ll meet Wontumi in prison if you’re not careful – Afenyo-Markin warns AG

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has cautioned the Attorney General against what he described as threats to prosecute New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament, warning that the current government could find itself in opposition after the 2028 general election.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, July 23, 2026, following the presentation of the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, Afenyo-Markin accused the government of engaging in political persecution through the prosecution and imprisonment of opposition figures.

Afenyo-Markin argued that if the alleged actions against opposition members continued, officials of the current administration could face similar legal challenges should there be a change in government.
