Massive Pushback As Sammy Gyamfi Says Extortionist Remarks Against Afenyo Is Not Personal

Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, has explained that his previous accusation of extortion against Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin was not motivated by personal hostility.

Gyamfi said he made the allegation in response to comments Afenyo-Markin had made about him. He noted that he accepted the Majority Leader’s position that his remarks were not personal and said he was willing to take that explanation in good faith.

His clarification has sparked public debate, with critics questioning whether he has adequately addressed the seriousness of accusing a public official of extortion.

Some have also pointed to his earlier statement that he would no longer discuss the issue publicly, asking why he has returned to the matter.

Others insist that allegations of this magnitude require clear evidence and should not be reduced to a personal disagreement. They argue that the claims must either be substantiated through the appropriate processes or formally withdrawn.

Several commentators have urged both parties to pursue a legal resolution, arguing that exchanges in the media are insufficient to establish the facts. Speculation has also emerged that the two men may have reached an informal understanding, but no confirmed evidence has been presented to support that suggestion.

Meanwhile, some members of the public have questioned why state anti-corruption agencies have not appeared to respond to the original allegation.

The dispute has highlighted concerns about transparency, accountability and the handling of serious accusations by public officials. The key question remains whether the matter will be referred to the courts or investigative authorities, or whether it will end without further formal action.
