Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has denied allegations of extortion. He described the claims as false and defamatory.
Mr. Afenyo-Markin stated that these accusations are an attempt to divert attention. The distraction is from his inquiries into reported losses.
The losses are related to the Bank of Ghana's Domestic Gold Purchase Programme. He has raised questions about these financial matters.
He said he has faced many insults. These are part of the alleged attempts to divert focus.
Mr. Afenyo-Markin affirmed his commitment to his work. He will not lose focus on the issues he is investigating.
