These allegations carry a lot of weight – Agalga concedes extortion claims are serious

Mr Agalga was also asked whether Parliament itself should investigate the allegations, given that the claims involve the office of the Minority Leader and have been copied to the Speaker.

Incoming Majority Leader James Agalga has described allegations of extortion against Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin as serious, urging all parties to allow state institutions and the courts to handle the matter.“I do not want to delve into the merits or otherwise of the allegations made because the Minority Leader hinted that he had actually initiated some suits, you know, in respect of this same matter,” he said.
