President of the United Fetish Priest Association of Ghana, has come to the aid of Sammy Gyamfi, the Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, who is facing increasing calls for his dismissal following an $800 cash donation he made to the controversial figure, Evangelist Patricia Asiedu Asiamah, widely known as Nana Agradaa.
The backlash against Gyamfi escalated after the donation, which occurred during a public event, ignited a wave of criticism from various segments of society. Supporters of Gyamfi argue that the reaction to his gesture is both hypocritical and unjustified. “What crime has Sammy Gyamfi committed?” Nana Mosi asked pointedly. “He gave Agradaa $800 at a public event, not in secrecy. Yet some people are calling for his head.”
Pointing to the double standards prevalent in political donations, Nana Mosi highlighted the frequent distribution of gifts by politicians to their supporters. “We’ve seen politicians distribute cars, fridges, TV sets, and huge sums of money to delegates during both internal elections and the 2024 general elections. Why were they not questioned?” he challenged.
Emphasizing that the donation should not be mistaken for bribery or corruption, Nana Mosi stated that Gyamfi, as a notable political figure, has the financial means to make such contributions. “This was not a backdoor deal. It was done openly. Agradaa demanded the money, and Sammy Gyamfi did not promise her anything in return. So where is the wrongdoing?” he questioned.
Nana Mosi also advised the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to withstand external pressures to dismiss Gyamfi, warning that such a move could damage the party’s reputation and unity. “Sammy Gyamfi has done nothing wrong. The NDC should protect him, not punish him,” he urged, standing firmly by Gyamfi in the face of rising public scrutiny.
As the debate continues, the future of Gyamfi’s position at the Ghana Gold Board remains uncertain, but Nana Mosi’s outspoken support adds a significant voice to the ongoing discourse about political donations and accountability in Ghana.
