Nana Yaa Jantuah to petition Speaker over Afenyo-Markin's 'nobody' comment if doesn't retract
Nana Yaa Akyenpim Jantuah stated on Thursday, August 6, on Asempa FM's Ekosiisen, that she will petition the Speaker of Parliament if Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin fails to retract his description of her as a "nobody." She questioned, "How can you tell me in front of everybody that I am a nobody?"
Jantuah said the comment was inappropriate and unacceptable, made publicly during the NPP's presentation of its petition at the Jubilee House after its 'Democracy Under Attack' demonstration. She argued that Afenyo-Markin should have respected the authority of the President, who assigned her to receive the petition on behalf of the presidency, stating, "The President nominated someone to come and receive your petition." She defended her professional background and said she remained silent at the time because she was representing the President. Jantuah added that public officials should maintain respect in political engagements, particularly when interacting with women.
