Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has thrown a public challenge at Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, daring him to file a formal complaint with the Cybersecurity Authority of Ghana if he genuinely believes his social media accounts were compromised.

Speaking on Channel One TV on Saturday, June 6, 2026, Sam George said the Authority was fully prepared to investigate the matter, trace the source of any compromise, and ensure that those responsible face the full force of the law.

"If he really and truly believes that his account was compromised, he should file a formal complaint with us. We'll carry out an investigation, identify where the compromise came from and make sure that they face the true rigours of the law," the minister stated.

The challenge comes after a post attributed to Afenyo-Markin circulated widely on social media on Tuesday, June 2, appearing to criticise the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2026, Ghana's anti-LGBTQ+ legislation passed by Parliament on May 29.

The post was later deleted and replaced with a disclaimer from the Minority Leader, claiming his account had been hacked.

But Sam George did not seem entirely convinced, pointing to Afenyo-Markin's own recorded position on the floor of Parliament in February 2024, when the NPP legislator, then serving as Majority Leader, reportedly described the bill as "an assault on a group of people."

"Those were the same words in the tweet that came out," George stated.

He, however, left room for the possibility that Afenyo-Markin's stance may have since shifted.

"There's still every likelihood that his position has changed and now he believes in the dictates of the law, and some unscrupulous element may have chosen to do mischief by compromising his account," he said.

The minister said the Cybersecurity Authority stood ready to assist Afenyo-Markin in determining the nature of any compromise and advising on remedial steps, but only if a formal complaint is lodged.
