Dr Kabiru Tia Mahama, the Member of Parliament for Walewale, has reaffirmed the Minority Caucus’s demand that the government discipline the Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi.
He emphasized that the same standards applied in the Cecilia Dapaah case must also be upheld in this instance.
The request follows the circulation of a viral video allegedly showing Sammy Gyamfi handing an undisclosed amount of money in US dollars to Evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, also known as Nana Agradaa, at a public gathering.
In an interview with Channel One Newsroom on Monday, May 12, Dr Kabiru noted that while politicians frequently distribute cash, doing so in foreign currencies undermines the value of the Ghanaian cedi and contributes to broader economic challenges.
He reiterated the Minority’s position that Gyamfi should be held accountable, arguing that his actions violate the President’s code of conduct for public servants.
“The President took a decision to ask Madam Cecilia Dapaah to resign from her post. So, if that has happened in the past, and now we have a senior government official—someone who spoke vehemently against the conduct of Madam Cecilia Dapaah, someone who has been at the forefront of promoting economic discipline, cedi loyalty, and governance issues—you would expect such a person, if engaging in the same behavior, to be held to the same standard,” Dr. Kabiru Tia Mahama was quoted as saying by Citi Newsroom.
Dr Kabiru emphasized that accountability must be applied uniformly, regardless of an individual’s position or political affiliation.
“We cannot measure Cecilia Dapaah by one standard and try to measure Mr. Sammy Gyamfi by a different standard,” he added.
