Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin
Chaos erupted on the floor of Parliament during a debate on digitisation, which saw heated exchanges on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
Tensions flared as the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo, delivered a statement criticising Ghana’s digitisation agenda.
He stated, “What type of digitisation is this? You take my biodata on a card, and when I appear in person, I am not important, but the card lying at home is? Go to your bank today without carrying your Ghana Card, there should be proper digitisation so that when you appear at the bank, your digital data can be accessed and processed.”
He continued, “And that is the kind of digitisation that should be guided by a blueprint to inform our actions, not an uncoordinated approach.”
After his statement, First Deputy Speaker Bernard Ahiafor proceeded to call on another Member of Parliament to contribute to the debate.
Suddenly, tensions escalated as Minority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin questioned the proceedings.
“What is going on? What is happening here? We will not allow this! What is going on in this chamber? No, this has never happened in the history of Ghana’s politics. Why?” he protested.
