Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has disclosed that he is ready to subject himself to any investigation concerning the alleged extortion levelled against him.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin indicated that there are lines in political discourse that cannot be crossed; however, Sammy Gyamfi and his associates have crossed it and they have to answer.
He further indicated that he has taken action by suing Sammy Gyamfi, the platform where he made those allegations, and is hopeful that the court will exonerate him.
“I also await with bated breath that the man or the men who made the allegation will get the courage to report the matter to the police or the OSP or any investigating agency in this country and I expect that if they muster the courage to 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.
There is a limit to everything. In political discourse, there are lines that must not be crossed and these red lines once crossed, they must be dealt with.
“In the face of allegations of extortion against me, I have chosen to take the high moral ground by submitting myself to the processes of the law. I have accordingly caused writs to be filed against Samuel Adu Gyamfi and the Multimedia Group Limited at the Accra High Court and one against Eric Adjei and Peace FM at the Achimota Circuit Court.
I have every confidence that in the fullness of time, the court will make the appropriate determination on these matters,” he said.
