The Minority in Parliament is calling for the immediate suspension or dismissal of Sammy Gyamfi, Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, over a viral video showing him handing out US dollars to evangelist Nana Agradaa. Dr. Mahama emphasised that Gyamfi’s actions contravene the Code of Conduct, Forex Exchange Act, and Currency Act, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
As a lawyer of high repute, Sammy Gyamfi’s defense of ignorance is not tenable, and the Minority demands he takes responsibility for his actions. In addition to suspension, they call for a full investigation into the source of the dollars seen in the video to unravel the mystery surrounding the funds.
The controversy has sparked public outrage, with many questioning the appropriateness of Gyamfi’s actions as a public official. Meanwhile, Sammy Gyamfi has been summoned by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah to address the situation, and the outcome of the meeting is eagerly awaited. The Minority’s demands underscore the need for accountability and transparency in public office.
