The Chief Executive Officer of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Observatory (ACUC), Dr. Benjamin Anyagre Aziginaateeg, has called for the resignation or dismissal of Ghana Gold Board CEO, Sammy Gyamfi, over a viral video showing him handing over an undisclosed sum of money to evangelist Nana Agradaa. Dr. Aziginaateeg stated that if the public misconduct is proven true, Gyamfi’s actions would be a dent on the office of the president.
The ACUC CEO emphasized that the president must uphold the code of conduct and take action against Gyamfi to maintain public trust. He added that governments must have clear ideologies and adequate preparation of their officers before assumption of duty, as without that, the government might fail right from the beginning.
Dr. Aziginaateeg suggested that the president should review Gyamfi’s performance within six months and take necessary action. He warned that if the president fails to act, he risks becoming unpopular and facing backlash from the public.
Meanwhile, Gyamfi has apologized for the incident, describing it as an act of kindness that unfortunately became public. He expressed regret for any hurt caused and appreciated the views of those who were upset by the gesture.
