Afenyo-Markin to face NPP MPs today over Sammy Gyamfi’s extortion allegations

The allegations were made at the seat of the Presidency, where Mr Gyamfi addressed journalists in response to claims by the Minority in Parliament, led by Mr Afenyo-Markin, over reported losses associated with the Bank of Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin is expected to face questions from members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Caucus this morning over allegations of extortion made against him by Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) Chief Executive Officer, Sammy Gyamfi.

The development comes as the dispute between Mr Afenyo-Markin and Mr Gyamfi intensifies, with the personal allegations threatening to overshadow the Minority’s substantive concerns about the Bank of Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme and the role of GoldBod in the transactions.
