Parliament's Minority Leader, Mr Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has initiated a new defamation lawsuit against Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Mr Sammy Gyamfi, and Chief Executive of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme, Mr Eric Adjei. Allegedly, Mr Gyamfi and Mr Adjei referred to Mr Afenyo-Markin as an extortionist on various media platforms in August.
Mr Afenyo-Markin denies the accusations and seeks the court to punish the two for damaging his reputation. The initial lawsuit Mr Afenyo-Markin filed against Mr Adjei was discontinued in October. The new suit was filed according to the court's recent interpretation of the rules, despite the team disagreeing with the earlier decision to dismiss the previous case.
