US EditionTransparency Intl Ghana calls on Mahama to act over Sammy Gyamfi’s cash gift to Agradaa
- On May 11, 2025, a widely shared video showed Sammy Gyamfi, who serves as the temporary head of the Ghana Gold Board, handing cash to Nana Agradaa, leading to a summons by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah at the Jubilee House.
- The video has drawn widespread criticism and raised ethical questions, especially in light of President Mahama’s recently introduced guidelines for government officials that stress honesty, responsibility, and transparency in their roles.
- Gyamfi apologized, calling the gift a "private act of kindness," while Transparency International Ghana's Mary Addah urged urgent action and passage of stricter conduct laws for public officers.
- The gift, reportedly in US dollars, has intensified debates on political transparency and accountability, with calls for Gyamfi to explain the transaction exceeding the GH20,000 threshold outlined in official guidelines.
- The incident may affect perceptions of political ethical standards and pressures the government to strengthen enforcement of the Code of Conduct for appointees to restore public trust.
