Speaking on the matter, Afenyo-Markin questioned the conduct of the Accra Circuit Court judge involved in the case, particularly over reports that the official court order was not immediately made available after the remand decision was issued.
Clearly dissatisfied with the situation, the outspoken legislator challenged what he described as inconsistencies surrounding the court’s actions and openly questioned why there appeared to be delays regarding access to the official documentation.
“If My Lord thinks he is bold enough, why is he running away from his own order?” Afenyo-Markin reportedly asked while reacting to the controversy.
According to him, judicial officers must be prepared to fully stand by the decisions they make, especially in matters that attract significant public attention.
He argued that if the ruling to remand Abronye was lawful and justified, there should be no hesitation in promptly making the official order available.
Afenyo-Markin maintained that the circumstances surrounding the case risk creating public perceptions of uncertainty and procedural irregularity within the justice system.

In his view, such developments could weaken public confidence in the judiciary if not properly addressed.
He further stressed that courts must always operate with fairness, openness, and transparency, particularly in politically sensitive cases involving prominent opposition figures.
The Minority Leader also noted that the remand of Abronye has generated significant concern among NPP supporters and sections of the public who are closely following the case.

He therefore called for greater clarity from the judiciary to prevent unnecessary speculation and mistrust.
The comments have since sparked widespread political and legal discussions, with supporters of the opposition questioning the handling of the case while others insist that judicial processes should be respected and allowed to proceed without political interference.
Some legal observers argue that court procedures and administrative delays can occur for various reasons and should not automatically be interpreted as misconduct.

Others, however, believe that transparency is essential in maintaining trust, especially in cases involving well-known political personalities.
As debate continues, neither the court nor judicial authorities have publicly responded to Afenyo-Markin’s remarks.
Meanwhile, the controversy has added to ongoing national discussions about due process, judicial independence, and the treatment of political figures within Ghana’s legal system.
