Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticised President John Dramani Mahama, saying that one year into his administration, the government is still “acting with slogans and no action.”
Speaking in response to the 2026 State of the Nation Address, Afenyo-Markin pointed to rising electricity tariffs, which he said have become unaffordable for ordinary Ghanaians.
He also highlighted the dismissal of thousands of young Ghanaians through letters issued by the Chief of Staff, as well as alleged irregularities in security services recruitment involving the company Trybe Net.
The Minority Leader further raised concerns about cocoa farmers, noting reductions in producer prices and the absence of Agric Minister Eric Opoku. He also criticised ongoing illegal mining activities that continue to harm communities.
Afenyo-Markin said the Minority will pursue accountability and ensure full disclosure on these matters, asserting that Ghanaians are suffering under current policies.
“What the president failed to tell the people of Ghana is that one year in government, he is still acting with slogans, no action. Electricity tariffs have skyrocketed, and Ghanaians cannot afford electricity. We have 1000s of Ghanaian youth who were dismissed through a letter by the CJ.
“As we speak, there is a scandal looming in security services recruitment, Trybe Net. We know who brought that company to the Ministry. Karma has a way, and the Minority will pursue the person and make sure there is full disclosure.
“The cocoa farmers have reduced the producer price, and Eric Opoku cannot be found, and they are telling us macroeconomics…Ghanaians continue to suffer under galamsey.”
