Afenyo-Markin warns tribunal panel structure could expose justice system to abuse

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticised the composition of the adjudicating panels under the proposed tribunals bill, arguing that the structure could undermine due process and create opportunities for abuse. Speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show, the Effutu MP said it was flawed for only the tribunal chairperson to be required to have legal training while the remaining two panel members could be lay persons without any legal background.
