The Minority Caucus in Parliament has reiterated its resolve to defend Ghana’s sovereignty, uphold the 1992 Constitution, and safeguard the country’s long-standing tradition of principled foreign policy.
At a press conference in Accra, the caucus accused the government of breaching constitutional provisions and pursuing inconsistent diplomatic positions that risk undermining Ghana’s global reputation.
Addressing the media, Samuel Abu Jinapor, Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee and MP for Damongo, cited the Ghana-US deportee agreement as a clear violation of Article 75 of the Constitution, as well as relevant Supreme Court rulings. He further cautioned government officials to exercise restraint in their public statements on the Gaza conflict, warning that careless diplomacy could jeopardise Ghana’s credibility.
The Minority stressed that Ghana’s foreign policy has historically been anchored on independence, neutrality, and credibility—principles they argued are now being compromised.
“Departures from this tradition, if not checked, could diminish our moral authority on the international stage and compromise our broader national interests,” the caucus cautioned.
They pledged to intensify parliamentary oversight on foreign policy to ensure that government actions remain consistent with constitutional provisions and Ghana’s long-standing international posture.
