The Majority Leader in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, has taken a swipe at the Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, after the latter accused Parliament’s camera crew of engaging in politics and bias against his side.
Afenyo-Markin expressed strong disapproval of what he described as partisan conduct by parliamentary cameramen during proceedings on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
In a passionate address to the Speaker, the Minority Leader raised concerns over the selective focus of the parliamentary camera crew, accusing them of targeting him in an unprofessional manner by zooming in on his leg when he removed his shoe due to discomfort.
Reacting to this, the Majority Leader, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central, was surprised that Afenyo-Markin would be complaining about the camera crew taking visuals of his feet.
He said that the Minority Leader, who is the MP for Effutu, during the Minority’s protest against the detention of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), sat on the floor with his bare feet, but is now complaining about his legs being filmed.
“My friend, the Honourable Minority Leader, is worried about his feet today. A few days ago, he was lying in front of EOCO with his feet on display for all Ghanaians to see. Mr Speaker, a few days ago he, not this cameraman, removed his shoes and was sitting in plain public view and displaying his feet.
“Mr Speaker, and he encouraged all his colleagues to also remove their shoes and sit on the floor. The karma,” Ayariga said.
