Full writ: Afenyo-Markin sues Sammy Gyamfi, 1 NDC official and 2 media houses
According to him, he has "every confidence that in the fullness of time, the court will make the appropriate determination on these matters."
The Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has initiated legal proceedings against the CEO of the Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, two Accra-based media houses and one NDC official, accusing them of extortion. The lawsuit was filed in the Accra High Court and Achimota Circuit Court under the titles of Osahene Alexander Afenyo-Markin versus Samuel Adu Gyamfi and Multimedia Group Limited, and Osahene Alexander Afenyo-Markin versus Eric Adjei and Peace FM, respectively.
Abiding by the principle of upholding the law, Afenyo-Markin submitted himself to the judicial process, expressing confidence in the court's ability to render a fair decision. Afenyo-Markin also urged his accusers to report the matter to law enforcement agencies. He warned that there are limits to political discourse and that once crossed, they must be addressed.
The conflict arises from a disagreement over the Bank of Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP) and allegations of financial losses and misconduct.
