Gyamfi came under fire for openly donating dollars to controversial Ghanaian spiritual leader and former fetish priestess-turned-evangelist, Patricia Oduro Koranteng, widely known as Nana Agradaa.
There have been mixed reactions to the donation issue, with a section of the public defending Gyamfi while others are criticizing him.
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) had called on President Mahama to take tough actions against Sammy Gyamfi. Civil society groups have also called for his dismissal, arguing that his conduct undermined public trust and violated the standards expected of a government official.
However, President Mahama has decided to accept Mr. Gyamfi’s public apology and bring the matter to a close — albeit with a stern warning.
Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, conveyed the President’s position at a press briefing on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
