The Minority Leader of the parliamentary opposition, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has firmly refuted media reports suggesting he has been summoned to address allegations of extortion, as reported by myjoyonline.com. In a statement shared on his official Facebook page on Monday, August 24, 2026, Afenyo-Markin dismissed the claim as false.
He clarified that he had convened a Caucus meeting with his colleagues in anticipation of the upcoming Parliament reconvening, emphasizing that such meetings are a standard practice to strategize and coordinate parliamentary affairs.
This denial comes in response to a public dispute between Afenyo-Markin and Sammy Gyamfi, the CEO of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod). Earlier, on August 19, during the Government Accountability Series, Gyamfi accused Afenyo-Markin of spreading misleading information to discredit GoldBod. Gyamfi argued that the allegations were orchestrated by individuals skilled in sophistry and political intimidation, aiming to coerce Afenyo-Markin into capitulating under the guise of compulsory arbitration.
