Felix Kwakye Ofosu (L) says the government will take no further action against Sammy Gyamfi (R)
The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has disclosed that President John Dramani Mahama does not intend to pursue further disciplinary action against the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi.
The decision was announced during a press briefing on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
“Having acknowledged the apology he made, he (President Mahama) questioned him and impressed upon him to take on board public sentiments and act in ways that reflect public expectation.
“The Presidency does not believe that any further action ought to be taken beyond the apology and the caution, and we all take a cue from it and are going to do better. In order to meet the expectations of the Ghanaian public, we value feedback. We are aware that Ghanaians expect high standards in the performance of our duties as public officials,” he stated.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to upholding integrity and accountability in the public service.
“We remain committed to meeting those high standards to ensure that we deliver the best of governance to our people who have been long suffering in the last few years under poor governance.
“The view is that to begin with, the Presidency acknowledges Mr Sammy Gyamfi’s immediate act of contrition and the acknowledgment of the need to express regrets over that incident. So, that apology has been taken on board,” he added.
His comments follow a recent viral video that captured Sammy Gyamfi handing US dollar notes to Evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, known as Nana Agradaa.
