The Minority Leader and Ranking Member of the Appointments Committee of Parliament, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, has humorously urged the Minister of Defence-designate, Dr.Edward Omane Boamah, not to deny him protocol enlistment into the army if approved by Parliament.

Speaking during his vetting in Parliament on Tuesday, January 28,2025, he stated," On a lighter note, that the fact that I'm grilling you does not mean that when you get there and you are supposed to give protocol allocation, you deny me. I'm telling you, you cannot. Because yes, there is. And committee members benefited.”

He went on to explain the history of protocol benefits.

“Yes, yes, there is something like that. When I was a Defense Committee member, your ranking, your members benefited. I am saying it on authority. They did. And they even had more than we NPP members. They did, that's a fact.”

“So, I'm telling you that when you are giving, don’t think that because I grilled you, you will not allocate,” he said, emphasizing his point.
