The Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has expressed concern over the exclusion of the Minority caucus from parliamentary delegations. He stated this during the ninth edition of the Crystal Ball Series.
He described the situation as a systematic sidelining. This exclusion reportedly affects participation in bodies like the Pan-African Parliament and the ECOWAS Parliament.
Afenyo-Markin indicated that established formulas for forming these delegations are not being followed. The usual practice involves representation from both majority and minority sides.
These omissions raise questions about fair representation within Ghana's parliamentary representation abroad. The Minority expects to be included in international parliamentary engagements.
The specific criteria for recent delegation selections were challenged by the Minority Leader.
This issue pertains to Ghana's contribution and representation in regional and continental parliamentary forums.
The Minority Leader’s statements suggest a potential political disagreement regarding parliamentary procedures.
Further details on which specific delegations were affected were not immediately available.
