Let’s wait and see – Agalga refuses to take sides on extortion allegation as OSP probe begins

Incoming Majority Leader and Builsa North MP James Agalga has declined to take sides in the extortion allegations involving Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi.

James Agalga, the incoming Majority Leader and MP for Builsa North, has refrained from taking a stance on the extortion allegations against Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi. Agalga stated that the matter should be left to the appropriate state institutions as the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) initiates preliminary investigations.

He expressed his reluctance to comment on the merits of the allegations since the Minority Leader had already initiated legal action. Agalga also noted that some individuals had petitioned the OSP regarding the issue. He urged all parties to exercise restraint while the investigations and legal proceedings unfold, advocating for a wait-and-see approach.

Agalga acknowledged the allegations' gravity, particularly due to their potential impact on Parliament's reputation. He emphasized that the outcome of the investigations might determine the liability of the parties involved.
