Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has accused the government of targeting its critics through arrests and imprisonment.
According to the Effutu MP, individuals who speak out against the government are increasingly being subjected to arrests and detention.
He made the remarks while addressing delegates at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Delegates Conference.
Afenyo-Markin used the occasion to raise concerns about what he described as a shrinking space for dissent, arguing that citizens must be able to express their views without fear of state persecution.
“Under this government, critics are being arrested and jailed,” he said.
He urged NPP delegates and supporters to remain committed to defending democratic values and the rights of citizens to freely express their opinions.
