Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has withdrawn allegations he made concerning recruitment into security services. These claims were directed at the Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka.
The decision to withdraw the allegations came after a directive from the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament. The Deputy Speaker had suggested referring Afenyo-Markin to Parliament’s Privileges Committee.
Details about the specific nature of the recruitment fraud allegations were not provided in the initial report.
Minister Muntaka was the subject of the original claims made by the Minority Leader.
The Parliament’s Privileges Committee handles matters of misconduct and breaches of parliamentary rules.
No further details were immediately available regarding the committee's next steps or Afenyo-Markin's reasons for withdrawal.
