Franklin Cudjoe, the President of the policy think tank IMANI Africa has stated the acting the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board Sammy Gyamfi needs to answer some questions for Ghanaians and President John Mahama.
Sammy Gyamfi has come under serious scrutiny after a video surfaced of him gifting fetish priestess now pastor Patricia Asiedua, commonly known as Nana Agradaa some huge sums of dollars.
In the viral video shared on social media platform X Sammy Gyamfi was spotted standing beside his white Range Rover, taking a photo with Nana Agradaa.
After a brief conversation between the two Sammy Gyamfi proceeded to sit in his car.
Sammy Gyamfi in the vehicle was seen counting several notes of US dollars.
Nana Agradaa upon seeing Sammy Gyamfi count the dollars insisted that he hand over all the notes instead of giving her just some.
She later grabbed all the money from his hands and, walking away, flaunted the huge sums of US dollars to bystanders, saying, “I have taken dollars from Sammy Gyamfi.”
Franklin Cudjoe reacting to the viral video stated, “It is a difficult one. It is clear the amount gifted is above GHC 20k. Sammy needs to answer some questions to us and JM”.
Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama launched his long-awaited Code of Conduct and Ethics for all political appointees.
It marks a significant step toward enhanced transparency, accountability, and ethical governance.
President Mahama stated during the launch ceremony at the Presidency, “This Code represents a bold declaration of the standards we must uphold as servants of the public”.
“It is a living and enforceable framework that outlines what is expected of every individual appointed under this administration. This is a government of shared responsibility, and there will be no sacred cows.”
According to a press release, the code of conduct is based on core principles intended to promote a new political culture grounded in transparency, humility, and ethical leadership.
They include Serving the public with integrity and impartiality, Putting the national interest above personal interests, Avoid misuse of office or state resources, Declare and manage any potential conflicts of interest, Eschew opulence and be accountable for the use of public funds and Demonstrate humility in service, measured language, and respect for citizens.
The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah has warned government appointees there shall never be any excuse whatsoever when an appointee crosses the line.
According to Julius Debrah, appointees must comply with the newly introduced Code of Conduct by President John Dramani Mahama, and warn that any breaches will not be tolerated.

This is unacceptable! Sammy Gyamfi and the appointees should not erode the goodwill Ghanaians have for MAHAMA with their indiscretions. Nana Agradaa should be far away from the govt. It’s a warning. pic.twitter.com/FtAF2kp80a
