The minority leader, Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has criticised the government for utilising proceeds from the taxes it complained Ghanaians were suffering from, to finance the recent Independence Day celebration and other expenses.
Speaking during the debate on the 2025 State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament on Friday, March 7, 2025 Afenyo-Markin criticised the President for failing to acknowledge the contributions of the previous administration and for what he described as a pattern of “lamentation” rather than solutions.
