On his celebrated KSM Show, monitored by MyNewsGH, veteran satirist, media personality, and actor Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM) addressed the demeanor of Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, during the vetting of President John Dramani Mahama’s ministerial nominees.

Referring to him as “Macho Afenyo-Markin,” KSM called for a shift in tone while questioning Afenyo-Markin’s dismissal of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) committee.

“Let me tell you why I’m doing this show,” KSM began. “Surprisingly, this man, whom I call ‘Macho Afenyo-Markin,’ has become the Macho Crusader against ORAL, labeling it unconstitutional and illegal.

But let’s reverse the situation. If it were the NPP in power, promising to recover alleged looted funds from the NDC, would Afenyo-Markin reject the same committee? I doubt it. He’d likely lead the charge with exuberance.”

KSM critiqued Afenyo-Markin’s position, arguing that dismissing the committee as unnecessary undermines efforts to investigate critical financial losses.

He highlighted several unresolved issues, such as expenditures on the National Cathedral project, which reportedly cost millions of dollars without substantial progress, and the abandoned SkyTrain initiative, which absorbed significant funds yet delivered no results.

“Are you trying to impress us with brilliance, or are you dazzling us with bull crap?” KSM asked rhetorically.

He emphasised the need to prioritize Ghana’s interests over political allegiances, adding, “At this stage, Ghana’s progress should come first. If the country has been looted, we must recover the loot. It’s not about NDC or NPP—it’s about Ghana.”
