The Minority in Parliament has raised alarms over what they describe as increasing threats to their safety, prompting them to take measures to strengthen their security.

Addressing the press on Monday, February 3, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Majority of intimidation and harassment, stating that New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs were being targeted.

"We've been cooperative, but they're bullies," he declared. "They intimidate us, and if we don't stand strong, they'll continue to bully us and we won't allow that."

He pointed to a recent development in the Appointments Committee, where an initial agreement to vet three ministerial nominees was unexpectedly changed by the NDC, leading to five nominees being vetted instead.

Beyond procedural disputes, Afenyo-Markin alleged that NPP MPs have been subjected to physical intimidation by NDC foot soldiers.

"We've brought this to the attention of Parliament Police, and we're taking steps to beef up our security," he revealed. "The attacks are becoming too frequent, and we don't feel safe."

He also defended the NPP MPs' conduct during their protest on Thursday night, stressing that they were law-abiding and did not damage public property. Afenyo-Markin called on critics to review footage of the incident before drawing conclusions.
