Afenyo-Markin accuses government of using anti-corruption drive to target opponents

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has accused the government of using anti-corruption prosecutions as a political tool, warning that the approach risks creating public perceptions of guilt before the courts have ruled. Speaking on Newsfile on Saturday, a day after President John Dramani Mahama delivered the 2026 State of the Nation Address, Afenyo-Markin said he supports accountability in principle but questioned how the government is pursuing high-profile cases.
