News Hub Creator1d
President John Mahama has broken his silence on the viral video involving Sammy Gyamfi, the Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, who was seen handing out dollar bills to Nana Agradaa, a self-styled evangelist with a controversial reputation. The footage has stirred significant public backlash, especially in the midst of the country’s ongoing economic challenges.
In response to the growing outrage, government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu stated in an interview with Citi FM that President Mahama is taking the matter seriously. “The President has asked me to convey that this issue will not be ignored. Sammy Gyamfi will be held accountable,” Kwakye Ofosu affirmed. He added that ethical conduct and public trust remain core values of the Mahama administration.
Sammy Gyamfi has since issued an apology, describing the incident as a personal act of generosity that was not intended for public viewing. Despite this, many Ghanaians remain unconvinced, citing concerns about transparency and the responsibilities that come with managing national resources.
In a significant development, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has summoned Gyamfi to the Jubilee House to explain his actions. The outcome of this meeting may determine Gyamfi’s future within the administration.
The incident has reignited national conversations about the importance of ethical leadership and the expectation that public officials maintain high standards, both publicly and privately. As the nation watches closely, the presidency’s response could shape public perception and trust in governance moving forward.
