The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo Markin, is urging the government to present before Parliament a recent agreement with the United States that allows the deportation of Ghanaian nationals.
He explained that the agreement, which came to light during the parliamentary recess, involves the repatriation of Ghanaians from the United States but has not yet been brought to Parliament for approval.
Mr. Afenyo Markin argued that the arrangement carries serious national implications and must therefore be subjected to parliamentary scrutiny as required under Article 75 of the 1992 Constitution.
He maintained that all international agreements signed on behalf of Ghana must reflect the country’s values and protect its sovereignty.
The Minority Leader warned that no government should enter into deals that affect citizens’ rights without public accountability.
He stressed that Ghana’s foreign policy must be conducted transparently and in line with democratic principles.
He called on the government to respect constitutional processes and allow Parliament to debate and ratify the deportee agreement to ensure that the rights of Ghanaians abroad are safeguarded.
Mr. Afenyo Markin reaffirmed the Minority’s commitment to holding the government accountable on matters of national interest, especially those involving Ghana’s image and international relations.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
