Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin says the minority group in parliament is being deliberately excluded from important foreign trips. These trips include delegations to the Pan-African Parliament and the ECOWAS Parliament.
Mr. Afenyo-Markin voiced these concerns during the ninth Crystal Ball Series event. He stated that the usual methods for choosing delegates are not being followed.
He believes this exclusion is systematic. This practice affects the representation of the minority voice in regional parliamentary bodies.
The Minority Leader suggested that established formulas for forming these delegations are being ignored. This raises questions about fair representation in Ghana's parliamentary diplomacy.
This situation impacts how different political viewpoints are presented externally. It touches on the principle of equal participation in international forums.
Further details on the specific delegations and the alleged formula were not immediately available from the Minority Leader's statement.
