The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has summoned the Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, to explain a viral video showing him handing over an undisclosed sum of money to evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng, aka Nana Agradaa. Sources confirmed that Sammy Gyamfi has been asked to appear before the Chief of Staff to clarify the circumstances surrounding the transaction.
The video sparked widespread criticism and raised concerns over the ethical conduct of public officials. Critics argue that the incident may undermine President John Dramani Mahama’s Code of Conduct for Public Officials, which emphasizes integrity, accountability, and transparency.
Gyamfi has apologized for the incident, describing it as a private act of kindness that unfortunately became public. However, the Chief of Staff is treating the matter with urgency due to its political sensitivity and reputational risks.
Nana Agradaa, a polarizing figure in Ghanaian public life, has a history of controversy, including past legal issues. The incident has ignited speculation and public backlash, with many questioning Gyamfi’s actions as a senior public servant.
