Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticized the government over what he described as the neglect of victims of the June 29 floods, during the ongoing #DemocracyUnderAttack demonstration.
Addressing journalists, he said nothing had been said about the hundreds who lost lives and property in the floods because they were not public officials.
“Many people lost their lives when we had the flood situation. The following year, the government was holding a Thanksgiving service. As we speak, no government official has even visited those who lost their loved ones.
We have not seen the government declare a state of mourning for the people who lost their property and the hundreds who lost their lives. Nothing has been said about them because they are not public officials,” he stated.
The Minority Leader also explained why the NPP embarked on the “Democracy Under Attack”demonstration. He cited concerns over what he described as selective justice, alleged inaction on corruption claims, and the need for state institutions to uphold accountability and the rule of law.
