Afenyo-Markin’s lawyers vow to pursue GH¢15m defamation suit against Sammy Gyamfi after High Court dismissal

Lawyers for Minority Leader, Osahen Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin have vowed to pursue his GH¢15 million defamation case against the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi to its logical conclusion following a High Court decision to set aside the writ of summons and statement of claim.
