Martin Kpebu and Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin
Renowned private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has called out Minority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin over his claim that he did not use a military convoy during the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo era.
According to Kpebu, the Minority Leader, who is also the Member of Parliament for Effutu, is not telling the truth about the matter.
Speaking in an interview on TV3’s The Key Points on Saturday, February 22, 2025, Kpebu insisted that Afenyo-Markin used a military convoy while serving as Majority Leader of Parliament and claimed he could even provide the names of the soldiers who were part of the convoy.
Challenging Afenyo-Markin to confront him directly, Kpebu said, “Let us set a date for next Saturday, let Afenyo-Markin come here!”
The lawyer then read a message from his phone, stating, “It is true that Afenyo-Markin moved with a military convoy, and among the team of soldiers was my own cousin.”
He further reiterated his challenge, “Please, let him come here next week. What is this? Let him come here next Saturday, and we will show him the names.”
Afenyo-Markin had called into the program to refute an allegation made by Majority Chief Whip Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, who claimed that while serving as Majority Leader, Afenyo-Markin “drove around with a 50-vehicle military convoy following him.”
Dismissing the allegation, Afenyo-Markin fired back, “This is a figment of someone’s imagination. I have never had 50 military vehicles follow me.”
The Minority Leader acknowledged that, like other Majority Leaders, he had a police convoy while in office.
“Haruna Iddrisu and Benjamin Kumbuor, my predecessors, had the same access. It’s about efficiency, not extravagance,” he argued, referencing former Minority Leaders who also used motorcycle escorts to navigate Accra’s notorious traffic.
