The Minority in Parliament has demanded the immediate suspension of the Acting CEO of Ghana GOLDBOD, Sammy Gyamfi, for allegedly giving out US dollars to evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng, popularly known Nana Agradaa.
Sammy Gyamfi was seen in a viral video handing over an undisclosed sum of US dollars to the former fetish priestess, Nana Agradaa.
Despite issuing an apology, the GOLDBOD CEO has been summoned by the Chief of Staff following public backlash.
At a press conference on Monday, May 12, 2025, the Member of Parliament for Walewale and a member of the Finance Committee, Dr. Kabiru Tia Mahama, urged the President to take swift action against Sammy Gyamfi.
“The minority are calling for the immediate suspension of Sammy Gyamfi, as acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board. This is upfront on the Code of Conduct, it is against the Forex Exchange Act and also against the Currency Act.
“Even though the Chief Justice mentioned that ignorance of the law is no excuse, Sammy Gyamfi is not ignorant of the law. He is a lawyer of high repute and understands clearly the consequences of this action. So, he ought to take responsibility for the same,” he stated.
Additionally, the minority has called for a full-scale investigation into the source of the dollar currencies.
“We call for a full investigation into the source of the dollars displayed in the viral video,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has summoned the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, in relation to the viral video.
