Mahama Addresses Sammy Gyamfi Dollar Controversy, Vows To Take Immediate Action.

A viral video that shows Sammy Gyamfi, the boss of Ghana’s Gold Board, giving money in U.S. dollars to Nana Agradaa. Nana Agradaa is a woman who calls herself a preacher, but many people don’t trust her because she was once a fetish priest. The video made a lot of people upset, especially because Ghana is facing hard economic times right now, and many families are struggling to buy food and pay bills.
Because of the video, people wanted to know what the President of Ghana, John Mahama, thought about it. After being quiet for a while, President Mahama finally spoke through one of his government workers, Felix Kwakye Ofosu. Mr. Kwakye Ofosu said that the President is very serious about the situation and won’t just ignore it. He said that Sammy Gyamfi will be asked to take responsibility for what he did. He also said that being honest and earning the public’s trust are very important to the President and his team.
Sammy Gyamfi has now said he’s sorry. He said he was just trying to be kind and give a gift, and he didn’t mean for anyone to see the video. Still, many people don’t believe him. They think that someone in charge of Ghana’s gold money should be more careful, and they want to know if he is using the country’s money the right way.
Now, the President’s Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has called Sammy Gyamfi to the Jubilee House, which is like the President’s office, to talk about what happened. Depending on what Gyamfi says, he could lose his job or be punished.
This situation has made a lot of people in Ghana talk about how leaders should behave. People expect government workers to act properly and be good examples, even when no one is watching. What happens next will help people decide if they still trust the government.
