In a dramatic turn of events in Parliament yesterday, June 11th, 2025, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin criticized the Majority Leader’s stance on worker layoffs, sparking controversy over the latter’s “very rich” comment.
Afenyo-Markin took issue with the Majority Leader’s (Mahama Ayariga) apparent support for the Labour Minister’s decision to lay off workers, which the Minority Leader deemed unjust and insensitive.
The Majority Leader’s comment on the layoff of workers by the employment and labour minister was a “Brilliant” move, which Afenyo-Markin described as “very rich,” was seen as tone-deaf and dismissive of the plight of the affected workers.
The exchange highlights the deepening divide between the Majority and Minority caucuses in Parliament, with Afenyo-Markin emerging as a vocal critic of the government’s policies.
As the Minority Leader, Afenyo-Markin has pledged to work diligently to hold the government accountable and advocate for the rights of Ghanaians.
The controversy surrounding the Majority Leader’s comment is likely to continue, with many Ghanaians taking to social media to express their outrage and disappointment.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the relationship between the Majority and Minority caucuses in Parliament has reached a boiling point.
