The Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central Constituency Mahama Ayariga, has denied claims that sought to suggest he is the male actor in the alleged leaked Chinese sex video making rounds on various social media platforms.

According to him, at no point in time has he during his tenure as a Minister of Environment, Science Technology and Innovation under the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) provided the woman in question mining license in exchange for sexual favours .

He said in response ’I have become aware of the circulation of a video on social media purportedly showing me engaged in a sexual intercourse with a lady of Asian origin.

Those involved in this dastardly and barbaric act seems to suggest that I provided the lady and her company with a licence to engage in “galamsay” mining during my tenure as the Minister of Environment, Science Technology and Innovation in exchange of sexual favors.

I categorically deny the mindless suggestion that I am the male actor in the video and all the inferences it draws. Those who orchestrated this agenda and promoted it have only succeeded in giving us a glimpse of the crude and the unfulfilled lifes they live.

I want to assure the people Bawku and Ghanaians that I am grateful and respect the opportunity they have given me to serve as their Member of Parliament and the different portfolios I was privileged to work. The thought that I serve at the behest of the people never departs me, it is what informs and drives every decision I make; this will not change.

In accordance with my Islamic faith I forgive the architects of this video and agenda, I see these orchestrations as negative campaigning against targeted opponents and an evidence of our debased politics.

Thank you.
