The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has addressed a wave of public criticism following what he described as a private act of kindness that unexpectedly surfaced in the public domain.<\/p>\n

A recent video circulating online captures a brief interaction between Sammy Gyamfi and former fetish priestess turned evangelist, Patricia Oduro Koranteng, widely known as Nana Agradaa..<\/p>\n

In the footage, Agradaa is heard requesting some US dollar notes from Mr Gyamfi\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n

Moments later, the Acting CEO is seen counting several dollar bills, which Agradaa subsequently snatches and displays to nearby onlookers.<\/p>\n

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Mr Gyamfi sought to clarify the circumstances surrounding the gesture that has triggered backlash in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n

In his statement, he explained that the act was in keeping with his \u201cdaily and life-long custom of lending a helping hand to people in need.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI sincerely thought that I was doing this act of kindness in private and never imagined that same could find its way into the public space. That is unfortunate and regrettable,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the disapproval from some quarters, including his own political allies, Mr Gyamfi offered a heartfelt apology.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand the uproar that this gesture has generated, particularly from comrades who are sincerely hurt by same. To all such comrades, I AM SINCERELY SORRY for this unfortunate act of indiscretion. I respect and appreciate your views,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Mr Gyamfi also extended gratitude to those who had reached out with support and encouragement, noting their solidarity during what he described as a difficult moment.<\/p>\n

Reaffirming his commitment to public service, Mr Gyamfi emphasised that his understanding of public office remains unchanged.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy view of public office as a privilege to serve society, solve problems and help others has not changed,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n

He concluded his message by wishing Ghanaians a restful Sunday and extended Mother\u2019s Day greetings.<\/p>\n

\u201cStay blessed and have a blissful Sunday. Happy Mother\u2019s Day to all the mothers out here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
