The Minority Caucus in Parliament has publicly rejected the approval of Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as Minister for Foreign Affairs, citing concerns over his behavior and responses during the vetting process.
Led by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the caucus reiterated its stance during Tuesday’s parliamentary session, stating that they cannot endorse Ablakwa’s appointment under the current circumstances.
In a symbolic gesture, First Minority Deputy Whip Habib Iddrisu poured water on Afenyo-Markin’s hands, which he washed, signifying the Minority’s detachment from the approval process.
Afenyo-Markin emphasized that the Minority will maintain their distance, saying, “We abstain from his decision. It is solely a Majority call. All the sins of Ablakwa are upon their head.”
He further added,“This one, we are washing our hands to tell them that every sin at the Airport Hills and I am cleaning my hands to tell them that we are not part of the sins that he has omitted. All the Airport Hills sins are on their head.”
“If tomorrow he and his ORAL start pursuing you, it is on your head. But if he repents and comes back to this house, we will accept him.”
