Afenyo Markin Shócks Ghanaians As He Exposes The Truth About Wontumi, Says He Can’t Pay 50M Bail

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, has called on the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to withdraw the GH₵50 million bail granted to NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi.

Afenyo-Markin has reportedly questioned the circumstances surrounding the bail and formally appealed to EOCO to review its decision. The intervention is expected to intensify public scrutiny of the agency’s handling of the case.

Chairman Wontumi’s bail conditions have attracted widespread attention, partly because of the amount involved and his prominent position in the New Patriotic Party.

Despite the Minority Leader’s appeal, the bail remains in place unless EOCO or the appropriate legal authority takes steps to revoke or change the arrangement through the required legal process.

The development has also brought renewed attention to issues of fairness, accountability and due process in investigations involving influential political figures.

The next step will depend on EOCO’s response to Afenyo-Markin’s request and any subsequent legal action concerning Wontumi’s bail.
