Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central has refuted claims that he is the male character in a sex video being circulated on social media platforms.
The video which has gone viral features a black male with earrings and an Asian woman, Asia Huang popularly called Aisha, which many are alleging is the former Sports Minister.
It is said to be one of many videos which are being used by one Chinese woman who is involved in illegal mining in the hinterlands of the Ashanti region which she uses to blackmail some top Ghanaian officials.
The Editor-in-chief of the Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, last Saturday disclosed on Joy FM/MultiTV’s news analysis programme, Newsfile, three Chinese women, have video and audio recordings of politicians bigwigs and security officers.
He said they have built a network of influence in high places in the country which they rely on for protection whilst engaging in illegal mining.
Mr. Baako said these women came to Ghana and were involved in some other business but soon migrated to the business of galamsey.
In reaction to the allegations, Mr Ayariga took to Facebook Friday to say he is aware of the said erotic video being circulated on social media.

“Those involved in this dastardly and barbaric act seems to suggest that I provided the lady and her company with a license to engage in “galamsay” mining during my tenure as the Minister of Environment, Science Technology and Innovation in exchange of sexual favors,” he said.
“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,” he added.
Below is his Facebook post:
“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 license 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.”
