US EditionTransparency Intl Ghana calls on Mahama to act over Sammy Gyamfi’s cash gift to Agradaa
- In May 2025, a widely shared video showed Sammy Gyamfi, who was serving as the interim head of the Ghana Gold Board, handing over an undisclosed amount of money to Nana Agradaa.
- The incident prompted a summons from Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, who met Gyamfi at Jubilee House to seek explanations amid public criticism over ethical concerns.
- Gyamfi apologized on May 11, calling the transaction a "private act of kindness" that unintentionally became public, while Transparency International Ghana urged stronger accountability measures.
- Critics noted the gift, reportedly in US dollars, conflicts with President Mahama's recently launched Code of Conduct, which stresses integrity and limits cash transactions beyond GH20,000.
- The episode has led to calls for President Mahama to enforce ethical governance and tougher sanctions for public officials to restore trust in government institutions.
