Alexander Afenyo Markin the Minority Leader in Parliament has shockingly criticized the parliament cameraman for allegedly politicizing his work.
The minority leader accused the cameraman of intentionally focusing only on his shoes during coverage while showing full body shots of members of the Majority when they speak.
He expressed concern over footage that showed him removing his shoes while in pain, saying it was inappropriate.
Hon. Afenyo Markin called on the Speaker of Parliament to address the matter, warning that such actions could negatively impact others in the future.
Speaking on the floor of parliament Afenyo Markin stated, “ Mr Speaker, if a cameraman deliberately films the moment when I have taken my leg out of my shoe, to play politics with a camera, we will not take kindly to it”
“I had momentarily taken my leg out of my shoe because I was in pain, then he zoomed the camera down to capture it,” he added.
He questioned, “If they are now focusing on our legs, why is it that when they go to the Majority Leader, they only focus on the upper part of his body? If the cameraman is engaging in partisan politics, then he must be cautioned,” he vented.
“Mr Speaker, I will speak on some of these things because today it may be me but tomorrow it may be you. It is not right. I was in pain, so, I removed my leg from my shoe. How come when I’m debating, you decide to only zoom down at my feet?” he asked.
“They must be told that they should do their work professionally. Mr Speaker, I am saying this; nobody should take it personal. Nobody should hold the fort for them. Tomorrow, it will be you. As for me, I will speak on some of these things. If you think you want to support them, one day they will focus on you. So, let us stop them. It is not right that when you are zooming a camera in the chamber, you go and target the Leader’s shoe,” the Minority Leader stated.
