Stop The Personal Attacks!” — Vitus Azeem Demands Probe Into Sammy Gyamfi–Afenyo-Markin Feud
Anti-corruption campaigner Vitus Azeem has called for the growing public exchanges involving GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi and Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to move away from personalities and focus on the substantive issues at stake.
According to Azeem, the controversy appears to be becoming increasingly personal, potentially diverting public attention from the more important questions that require answers.
He argued that the focus should be on establishing whether the alleged losses being discussed actually occurred, what caused them, who may be responsible and what measures can be introduced to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Azeem further called for the issues between Afenyo-Markin and Gyamfi to be properly investigated, particularly the allegations of extortion, to establish whether there is evidence to support them.
He also questioned whether the Minority Leader would pursue the matter further and whether the GoldBod CEO would take steps to clear his name.
For Azeem, the controversy should ultimately be about accountability, transparency and protecting the public interest rather than personal attacks.
