Member of Parliament for Bawku Central and former Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Mahama Ayariga, has come out to categorically deny that he’s the star of a circulating s*x tape allegedly involving a Ghanaian politician and Aisha, the notorious Chinese galamsey queen.

The video, which shows a bald headed man and a Chinese lady getting their freak on, is allegedly a leaked portion of one of the videos Kweku Baako claimed the Chinese galamsey queens have recorded and use to blackmail politicians to stay in business.

Speculation has been rife that the man in the video is Mahama Ayariga, but the MP has vehemently denied that in a newly released statement.

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 seem 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 favours.

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 of 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 in. 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.
