Mr Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, has cautioned the government against allegedly testing the patience of Ghanaians.
He emphasised that the Constitution, and not personal interests, will prevail.
“Mr Speaker, as we close this meeting, let us close with resolve and a warning to those who test the people’s patience,” Mr Afenyo-Markin said on Friday in his closing remarks on the Floor of Parliament.
Parliament adjourned sine die the Third Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic on Friday, December 19, after 35 Sittings held within nine weeks.
The adjournment closed the Meeting’s scheduled deliberations, debates, and legislative business.
During the Meeting, Members of Parliament (MPs) considered a wide range of motions, bills, and reports.
Mr Afenyo-Markin stressed that alleged public dissatisfaction was growing, particularly among the youth, and warned that attempts to sideline constitutional principles would not go unnoticed.
“Mr Speaker, the people are watching, the Constitution is waiting, and the youth are restless. For all who believe that in Ghana it is the Constitution, not the whims of those in power, that shall have the last word,” he stated.
The Minority Leader reaffirmed the Minority’s commitment to standing with ordinary Ghanaians, declaring, “We, the mighty Minority, say to the Majority that we will march with the people. We march with the Constitution, we march with those whose voices have been silent, and we march with the 1.3 million people who deserve better than what this government has given them. We will not turn back,” he said.
