Chief of Staff Summons Gold Board CEO Sammy Gyamfi Over Agradaa Money Video

The Chief of Staff at the Office of the President has summoned the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, following the circulation of a viral video that has sparked national debate. The footage allegedly connects Mr. Gyamfi to self-styled evangelist Nana Agradaa, real name Patricia Asiedua, with implications of possible financial entanglements.

In the controversial video, Agradaa is seen mentioning Sammy Gyamfi’s name in a context that suggests financial transactions or involvement in her ongoing operations. While the exact details remain unclear, the clip has prompted widespread concern, particularly regarding ethical governance and the credibility of public officeholders.

A source close to the Presidency confirmed that the Chief of Staff is seeking clarity and accountability from Mr. Gyamfi, especially as the Ghana Gold Board plays a significant regulatory role in the country's gold sector—a space often criticized for opacity and lack of trust.

Mr. Gyamfi has yet to publicly respond to the summons or the content of the viral video. However, insiders suggest he will appear before the Chief of Staff this week to provide an official explanation and distance himself from any inappropriate associations.

The emergence of Agradaa in yet another high-profile controversy has reignited debates about her influence in political and religious spheres. Her past legal battles, including fraud allegations, continue to tarnish associations with public officials mentioned in her circles.

Political analysts say this incident could have broader implications, especially as Ghana gears up for its next election cycle. “Any perceived link between state officials and individuals with tainted public reputations could damage public confidence,” noted Dr. Kwame Boateng, a governance expert at the University of Ghana.

Meanwhile, civil society organizations are calling for a full investigation into the matter to ensure transparency and protect the integrity of Ghana's public institutions.

As this story develops, the public awaits a formal statement from the Office of the President and the Ghana Gold Board.
