Sammy Gyamfi, CEO of Ghana Gold Board, has refuted allegations of insulting Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin. The dispute stemmed from a recent discussion concerning losses incurred by the Gold Board. Gyamfi asserts he did not initiate the disrespectful tone, but rather responded in kind to prior remarks directed at him. He maintains his response was a justified reaction and not an unprovoked attack. This clarification comes after a contentious exchange between the two figures, drawing public attention to the Gold Board's financial issues. Gyamfi believes Afenyo-Markin received a response commensurate with his own initial statements. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between government officials and opposition members regarding accountability and transparency.
