Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, February 28, 2026 Afenyo-Markin said while accountability is necessary, Parliament must not abandon the principles of fairness and due process. “I think we have not been very fair in dealing with Ken Ofori-Atta as politicians, as people. We say we want the rule of law and fair hearing, but we are quick to pronounce people guilty,” he stated. Afenyo Markin noted that during the proceedings, he received a message from Ofori-Atta’s brother, Duke Ofori-Atta, who is also a Member of Parliament. He noted that political actors, particularly those in opposition, are often privy to sensitive information but must exercise restraint in how such matters are handled.
