Address us as Minority, not ‘Micro-Minority’ – Afenyo-Markin to Bagbin
Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo Markin has expressed displeasure at the description of his side as Micro-Minority.
According to him, they should be addressed as Minority and not by any tag.
The incident occurred during the session on Wednesday, January 8, when Speaker Bagbin referred to the Minority caucus using the contentious term.
The Micro-Minority tag by the Speaker sparked discontent among the Minority.
Responding to the Speaker’s description, Afenyo-Markin in a strong disapproval noted “Mr Speaker, we do not have any micro minority. Mr Speaker, the minority caucus hereby protests the description given to us by Mr Speaker.”
“Mr Speaker, we seconded the motion for your election. When the so-called majority was even conspiring against you, we protested. We stopped them from that conspiracy. Mr Speaker, it was us, the minority of conscience,” he continued.
Afenyo-Markin insisted that the term “micro minority” was unacceptable and urged the Speaker to address them as “minority semplicità.”
He added that henceforth, no one should use the Micro-Minority term in the chamber.
