  "summary": "Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has filed fresh defamation suits against Ghana Gold Board CEO Sammy Gyamfi and National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme CEO Eric Adjei. The new suits come after the discontinuation of earlier cases over alleged defamatory statements linked to Afenyo-Markin's criticism of GoldBod and its Domestic Gold Purchase Programme. The first suit against Gyamfi was filed at the Accra High Court on October 15, 2026, while a second suit against Adjei was filed at the same court hours after withdrawing an earlier case at the Achimota Circuit Court. Adjei's suit is based on alleged defamatory statements made on Peace FM regarding Afenyo-Markin's criticism.",
