The Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has said he has become aware of a deep search on him by members of Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) to see if he is in possession of state properties.
The search, he said, is also being carried out on his bank accounts.
All these are attempts to frustrate him as the Minority Leader as he subjects the ministerial nominees to scrutiny, he said.
The Effutu lawmaker was reacting to the denial by ORAL that they have been flying drones across the Minority Leader’s properties.
Private legal practitioner and ORAL committee member Martin Kpebu had described the allegation of flying drones as “ridiculous” and urged the public to disregard them.
“It is false. The ORAL committee has not sent any drones to spy on the Minority Leader’s properties—it is not true at all. Looking at the members of the team, you can hazard that the committee will not do something ridiculous like that, so let’s disregard it. We do not own any drones as a committee at all,” Kpebu told Citi News.
But responding to him, on God Evening Ghana show, Afenyo-Markin said “if [Martin Kpebu] doesn’t know, fine, but if he knows and he wants to come to public space to deny it, I leave him to his conscience.
“These guys have been doing deep ocean fishing, they have been checking my bank accounts. But at the time that I took up this job I knew all these things would happen, Minority Leader won’t be allowed to have his peace, so you need to have that gravitas, be ready and determined.”
