The Presidency pardoned and cautioned Sammy Gyamfi, Acting CEO of the Gold Board, following his dollar gift to evangelist Patricia Asiamah.
The Chief of Staff engaged Gyamfi, who provided an explanation and apology, leading to the decision to issue a caution.
A spokesperson to the government, Felix Kwakye Ofosu explained that “He heard him, and Mr Sammy Gyamfi provided his side of the story. He explained what transpired. The Chief of Staff also took into account the apology that Mr Sammy Gyamfi issued, which then showed a certain level of contrition and acknowledgment that there was a need to avoid such happenings"
“So, having apologized and having rendered his side of the story, the Chief of Staff then briefed the president, and it was determined that the apology should be followed with a caution to Mr Sammy Gyamfi to ensure that such development does not recur,” Ofosu noted.
He added that the Presidency considers the apology and caution sufficient in addressing the incident, bringing closure to the matter.
“It is believed that these two are sufficient as remedies to the matter at hand, and that was the basis upon which this position was taken,” Ofosu stated.
