ORAL: You’ve been explaining your wealth since Friday, you’re still not done — Osei Akoto mocks Afenyo-Markin

Henry Osei Akoto, a former National Organiser Aspirant of the NDC, has mocked Minority Leader Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin over his defense of his source of wealth since the matter popped up during the vetting of Foreign Affairs Minister-designate Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa last Friday.

In a post shared on X on Monday, February 3, 2025, Osei Akoto suggested that Afenyo-Markin's constant explanations raise suspicion.

He said the Minority Leader has since Friday been explaining his source of wealth, adding that Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), an anti-corruption initiative of President John Dramani Mahama aimed at recovering all looted state resources, would surely do its work.

"Afenyo-Markin has been explaining his wealth since Friday, and he is still not done. ORAL will work!!!" he wrote on X.

During his vetting on Friday, Minister of Foreign Affairs-designate, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who is the Chairman of the ORAL team, disclosed that he had records of properties acquired by Afenyo-Markin, including his land at Winneba.

The Minority Leader confirmed ownership of the land at Winneba but, however, explained that he did not acquire it fraudulently from the state.

Afenyo-Markin has, since the vetting, granted interviews where he has been explaining his sources of wealth.
