Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has urged President John Dramani Mahama not to punish the Acting Chief Executive of the Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, for gifting dollars to popular former fetish priestess now turned evangelist, Patricia Asiedua Asiamah.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem and monitored by GhanaWeb on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, he acknowledged the public outrage surrounding the matter but indicated that the incident is being blown out of proportion for political reasons.
“Absolutely, there should be no punishment, but it should be a lesson to all of us, and Sammy Gyamfi should know that his foes are many because of how he demolished the bad governance of the Akufo-Addo and Bawumia government with his analysis and work.
“The people trying to score political points must exercise restraint. I know there are attempts to exaggerate the matter by some people with a political agenda. Some individuals are peeved, particularly NDC foot soldiers, but he cannot settle or give money to everyone,” he stated.
The viral video, which quickly gained traction on social media, drew mixed reactions, with some NDC foot soldiers and political commentators calling for Gyamfi’s resignation or removal.
Meanwhile, the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has stated that the government has taken into account concerns raised about the public regarding the recent conduct of Sammy Gyamfi.
