The Minority in Parliament is calling for the suspension or dismissal of Sammy Gyamfi, the Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, following a viral video showing him allegedly handing out U.S. dollars to evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.
The Minority is also demanding a full investigation into the source of the dollars.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, May 12, 2025, the Member of Parliament for Walewale and Finance Committee member, Dr. Kabiru Tia Mahama, demanded swift action from the President.
“The minority is calling for the immediate suspension of Sammy Gyamfi as acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board. This goes against the Code of Conduct, the Forex Exchange Act, and the Currency Act,” Dr. Mahama stated.
“Even though the Chief Justice has stated that ignorance of the law is no excuse, Sammy Gyamfi is not ignorant of the law. He understands the consequences of this action and should take responsibility,” he added.
In addition to the suspension, the Minority has also demanded a full investigation into the source of the U.S. dollars seen in the video.
“We call for a full investigation into the source of the dollars displayed in the viral video,” Dr. Mahama said.
