GoldBod row: Afenyo-Markin threatens legal remedies over “defamatory” attacks
Minority Leader in Parliament and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, says he will pursue legal action over what he describes as defamatory statements made against him amid an escalating dispute over the Bank of Ghana’s (BoG) Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP).
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has vowed to pursue legal action against GoldBod following what he calls defamatory attacks. The controversy centers around the Bank of Ghana's Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP), which incurred an estimated $1.7 billion loss in 2025. Afenyo-Markin claims he has been subjected to personal insults and allegations aimed at discrediting him and diverting focus from his concerns about the program.
He rejects these assertions as false and intends to seek legal remedies against the GoldBod CEO, Sammy Gyamfi. The dispute has heightened tensions and brought the DGPP under intense scrutiny.
