Afenyo’s attacks on clerk despicable; very unbecoming of a Leader – Sam George

The Communications Minister-Designate, Sam George, has expressed worry over attacks on the clerk to the Appointments Committee.

The minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, on Friday, January 31, 2025, launched scathing attacks on the clerk to the Appointments Committee.

He described her as a politician affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

But in a post shared via social media, Sam George expressed his disgust for the action by the minority leader.

He urged the clerk to Parliament to raise the issue with the Rt. Hon Alban S.K. Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament.

He cites the passage of the affirmative bill as the reason why the minority leader has no right to berate the clerk.

His post shared via social media read “I am appalled at the despicable behaviour of Hon.Alexander kwamena Afenyo-Markin towards Madam Gifty Jiagge Gobah – the Clerk to the Appointments Committee of Parliament of Ghana.

This shameful behaviour is unbecoming of a Leader of the august House. I am absolutely certain he would not have dared to do this to a male Clerk of Parliament.

Madam Gifty Gobah has been a staff of Parliament for 18 years and deserves the respect her office commands. Such misogynistic and narcissistic behaviour must be roundly condemned by all well meaning members of society and Parliament itself

The Clerk of Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, must formally raise the issue with Rt. Hon Alban S.K. Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament. After the House has passed the Affirmative Action Law, we cannot condone and be complicit in such uncouth behaviour.

Madam Gifty Jiagge Gobah, I and many more decent people stand with you. Be encouraged and stand strong with your head held high. Your poise and composure even when you were under the barrage of insults is remarkable. Such a role model for our daughters.

Be calm!
