‘I’m ready to submit myself for investigation into extortion allegation’ - Afenyo-Markin in Parliament

The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has expressed his readiness to submit himself to any investigation by the Ghana Police Service and the Office of the Special Prosecutor if he is to be invited to face probe over the allegation of extortion made against him by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board.

He, has therefore, expressed the conviction that “the man or the men who made the allegation” would have the courage to report him to the police, the OSP or any investigative body.

“I expect that if they muster the courage and report that I have extorted from them and I am invited, I shall submit myself to every investigation so that eventually my name is cleared,” he said.

Suits

Addressing the House in his opening remarks at the commencement of the recall of Parliament to consider some urgent matters of the state on Monday evening (Aug 24), Mr Afenyo-Markin told the House that in the face of the allegation levelled against him, he had chosen the high moral grounds to submit himself to the processes of the law.

Consequently, he said he had accordingly caused a writ to be filed in a suit against the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi and the Multimedia Group Limited at the Accra High Court as well as one Eric Agyei and Peace FM at the Achimota Circuit Court.  


“I have every confidence that in the fullness of time, the courts will make the appropriate determination on these matters,” he said.
