  "account": "John Darko, the Member of Parliament for Suame, has denied allegations made by the CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, against the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin. Mr Gyamfi had accused Mr Afenyo-Markin of extortion in a recent dispute, following the Minority Leader's push for accountability over a $1.7 billion loss involving the government's Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP). Mr Darko described Mr Afenyo-Markin as \"genuine-hearted\" and \"blameless,\" and said the Minority Caucus would take legal action against the GoldBod CEO over the false allegations. Mr Gyamfi had made the allegations in a war of words with the Minority Leader, but Mr Afenyo-Markin had categorically denied them and stated his confidence in the Minority Leader's integrity. Darko said they would bring action against Mr Gyamfi for defamation, arguing that the allegations had crossed the line from political disagreement into defamatory claims.",
