The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, awaits his fate. He will learn more when President John Dramani Mahama returns from an African Union summit. The summit focuses on the debt situation in the sub-region.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister for Government Communications, spoke about this. He said the President will be briefed before any decisions are made. He emphasized that the government aims to uphold high standards and address public concerns.
Sammy Gyamfi recently met with Chief of Staff Julius Debrah. This meeting followed a viral video showing him gifting large sums of money to Nana Agradaa, a former fetish priestess turned evangelist. Reports indicate that Gyamfi was summoned due to this controversy.
TV3’s presidential correspondent, Komla Klutse, provided details about the meeting. He noted that Gyamfi appeared remorseful during their discussion. The government is taking this issue very seriously.
The Minority caucus in Parliament has called for action against Gyamfi. Dr. Kabiru Tia Mahama stated they demand his immediate suspension as acting CEO. They believe his actions violate several laws and regulations.
Mahama added that ignorance of the law is not an excuse for Gyamfi's behavior. They also called for a full investigation into where the money came from in the video.
Reports confirm that Gyamfi met with Debrah after being summoned regarding the video incident involving Nana Agradaa. Public sentiment suggests disapproval of such actions by government officials.
Many believe these indiscretions could harm public trust in Mahama's administration.
