Afenyo-Markin Hijacking Vetting Process, Overshadowing Committee Chair – Shamima Muslim

National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Bureau member Shamima Muslim has accused Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin of deliberately overshadowing Bernard Ahiafor, Chairman of the Appointments Committee, in the ongoing vetting process.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, January 18, Shamima claimed Afenyo-Markin’s dominant role is reshaping the proceedings to suit his agenda.

“It’s becoming clear that Afenyo-Markin is intentionally positioning himself as a co-chair, overshadowing the chairman. This trend could undermine the integrity of the process,” she said.

She also noted that Ahiafor is facing backlash, even from within his party, for granting Afenyo-Markin too much leeway. Shamima warned that such actions risk derailing the vetting process, drawing comparisons to the conduct of Joe Osei-Owusu during the NPP administration.

“The NPP often preaches reforms in opposition but abandons these ideals when in power,” she added, urging a return to fairness and balance in committee proceedings.
