I dare Afenyo-Markin to face me – Sammy Gyamfi points to ‘underlying issues’ in GoldBod claims
Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has thrown down the gauntlet to former Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, challenging him to directly confront him over a dispute the GoldBod boss says is rooted in issues not fully known to the public.
Sammy Gyamfi, CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, has challenged former Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to confront him directly regarding a dispute, as he believes there are "many underlying issues" between them that are not publicly known. Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile, Gyamfi suggested that Afenyo-Markin should engage him directly instead of allowing others to speak on his behalf.
This follows Gyamfi's previous comments during the government's accountability series, which drew criticism from NPP members and supporters. Gyamfi questioned why Afenyo-Markin had not personally confronted him over the comments or challenged the claims he made, implying that the former Majority Leader should respond directly if he disagreed with what was said about him.
The CEO of GoldBod emphasized that the absence of a direct response from Afenyo-Markin is significant, given the seriousness of the disagreement. He described himself as a "consummate democrat" who welcomes political debate and has repeatedly engaged critics through appearances on Newsfile and press conferences. Gyamfi suggests that the issue should be settled between the two, revealing that there are facts and circumstances surrounding their disagreement that are not publicly known.
He also drew a distinction between legitimate criticism and the specific dispute with Afenyo-Markin, stating that he has always been willing to face difficult political conversations.
