Alexander Afenyo-Markin the minority leader in parliament has questioned what business drones have at the Minority Leader’s residence.
Afenyo Markin has claimed the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team led by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has been spying on his properties with drones.
The member of parliament alleged that he has been informed on numerous occasions by his boys about drones flying on his properties.
According to Afenyo Markin, the Ghana Police Service has also seen the drones fly over his property.
Speaking in JoyNews’ The Probe on Sunday, February 2, 2025, Afenyo Markin detailed, “ “Meanwhile, I was aware that these ORAL guys have been flying drones in Winneba over my property. I kept quiet. I managed it. They went to my beachfront property, mounted a drone, and flew it from the community center near the ‘nshorna.’ My boy saw it. I told them to ignore it,”
“In Abelenkpe, you’ll be there in the morning and you’ll see drones flying. The policemen have seen it. They told me, but I said ignore it. Sometimes, early in the morning, we see drones behind the rail line, and I know they are spying on my house. What business do drones have at the Minority Leader’s residence?”, he added.
Afenyo Markin boldly revealed his lands in Winneba are not state lands.
“The gentleman brought a search report and created the impression that my lands in Winneba are state lands. With the greatest respect [they are not]”, he reiterated.
The minority leader further detailed a conversation he had with the Foreign Affairs Minister-nominee Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa before his vetting.
“Before his vetting, ask Ablakwa whether we didn’t sit as brothers. I said, ‘Sammy, there were things that you went overboard. I think if you make concessions, we’ll be fine”, he revealed.
