Afenyo-Markin to face NPP MPs today over Sammy Gyamfi’s extortion allegations

Ghana Gold Board CEO Sammy Gyamfi has accused Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin of extortion, prompting a meeting of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Caucus. The allegations, made at the seat of the Presidency, center around reported losses in the Bank of Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme. Afenyo-Markin has denied the claims but is reportedly considering legal options.

Some senior NPP MPs are pushing for further clarification from Afenyo-Markin before Parliament reconvenes. The dispute has intensified, with the allegations potentially overshadowing the Minority's concerns over the domestic gold purchase programme.
