Chief of Staff summons Sammy Gyamfi over cash gift to Agradaa

The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has summoned Sammy Gyamfi. He is the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board. This follows a viral video showing Gyamfi giving money to Patricia Oduro Koranteng, known as Nana Agradaa.

Sources at the Jubilee House confirmed this to Citi News. Gyamfi must explain the circumstances of the transaction. The video has sparked public criticism and raised ethical concerns about public officials.

The footage shows Gyamfi in a personal encounter with Nana Agradaa. The purpose of the cash handover is unclear. However, it has led to speculation and backlash against Gyamfi.

Critics argue that this incident undermines President John Dramani Mahama’s Code of Conduct for Public Officials. This code emphasizes integrity, accountability, and transparency in public service. It was introduced to curb corruption and restore trust in government institutions.

On Sunday, May 11, Sammy Gyamfi apologized for the incident. He described it as a private act of kindness that became public. Sources say the Chief of Staff is treating this matter urgently due to its political sensitivity.

Nana Agradaa is a controversial figure in Ghanaian life. She was once involved in traditional spiritual practices but now runs a Christian ministry. Her past legal issues continue to attract scrutiny from the public.
