The Minority Members of Parliament have taken a bold stance against Speaker Alban Bagbin’s recent comments addressing the caucus as a “micro-minority.”







The dissent was led by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin during a parliamentary session on January 8, where the contentious term sparked significant discontent among members.



Afenyo-Markin expressed the caucus&#8217;s dissatisfaction, stating that the label was inappropriate and uncalled for. 



“Mr. Speaker, we do not have any micro minority. The minority caucus hereby protests the description given to us by Mr. Speaker,” he asserted.



He went on to remind Speaker Bagbin of the crucial role the minority played in supporting his election as Speaker, despite opposition from the majority.



 “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,” Afenyo-Markin emphasized.



The Minority Leader insisted that the term “micro minority” was unacceptable, urging the Speaker to address them simply as the “minority.”
