The Minority in Parliament has formally petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to investigate allegations that Sammy Gyamfi, the acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Goldbod, presented a dollar-denominated gift to Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.
The petition, submitted on May 14, 2025, calls for a thorough examination into the circumstances surrounding the alleged gift, which the Minority contends may constitute a breach of public trust and potential abuse of office.
According to the Minority, the alleged transaction raises serious ethical and legal concerns, particularly given Mr Gyamfi's dual role as a senior NDC official and his recent appointment as acting Managing Director of the Goldbod.
They argue that any financial dealings between a public official and a controversial figure like Agradaa, who has faced multiple legal challenges in the past, warrant immediate scrutiny to uphold the integrity of public office.
Meanwhile, Mr. Gyamfi has emphasised that he has not engaged in any financial transactions with Agradaa and welcomes any investigation that would clear his name.
The CHRAJ, OSP, and IGP have acknowledged receipt of the petition and indicated that preliminary assessments are underway.
The outcome of the investigations could have significant implications for public trust in political institutions and the enforcement of ethical standards among public officials.
Already, a private citizen who filed a petition at CHRAJ over the matter has withdrawn his petition.
All these come after the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, formally cautioned the acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi and explained that there was no need for further action against him once he had also apologised for the incident.
