Personalities who have requested his release

President John Dramani Mahama seems to face a huge challenge, since numerous prominent Ghanaian personalities put on the pressure on him to dismiss his commissioned Sammy Gyamfi in the light of the ongoing scandal.

The scandal, which shows no signs of deposits, broke out after video material appeared, as Sammy Gyamfi, the reigning managing director (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board, broke out, has a US dollar and handed over the money to Patricia Oduro Koranteng.

After a widespread counter -reaction after the video appeared, Gyamfi apologized for his actions and explained that the gesture was intended as a private act of friendliness.

However, his explanation was dismissed by those who demanded that they remove that such behavior is inappropriate for an official and undermining the government's credibility.

Here are some personalities who have asked for the release of Gyamfi:

Frank Bannor

Development economist and senior research Fellow at the Institute for Economic Research and Public Order, Dr. Frank Bannor, President John Dramani Mahama, asked to demonstrate his commitment to the ethical government by removing Sammy Gyamfi from his position as CEO of the Ghana Gold Board.

In an interview with Abcnews and published on 3news.com, Dr. Bannor that Gyamfis violates primary asset exhibition directly against the president's code of conduct for candidates, and emphasized that Mahama in this case has to apply the same standards without hesitation.

“President Mahama recently launched the ethics code for his appointments, in which he stated that every representative who would be involved in an opulent lifestyle would be released.

“If Mahama is worth his salt, he should relieve Sammy Gyamfi from the office with immediate effect. The ethics code, which he read to the hearing of all Ghanaians, partially stipped that a representative who involves opulence is released.

Transparency International Ghana

Mary Awelana Addah, the managing director of Transparency International Ghana, asked President John Dramani Mahama to act in response to the escalating controversy about a monetary donation that became the fetish priestess, Evangelist, Patricia Oduro Koranteng, also known as Nana Agradaa, Ghana, the Ghana, the Ghana Acting -Activing -Officer, the Acting -Ambeecher, the Acting -Activing -Officutive by Ghaana, by Simty Gyamfi.

“I believe that this is certainly an opportunity for the president to demonstrate beyond and beyond.

Theo Acheampong

Theo Acheampong, an economist and risk analyst, has also burdened the controversy and asked President Mahama to take decisive measures.

He referred to the president's preface to page 9 of the Code of Conduct, in which it is clearly: “I oblige to deal with every political representative quickly and resolved who violates one of the standards specified in this code of conduct.”

He believes that the presidency's failure to maintain this promise could consider his declared commitment to combating corruption and the integrity and credibility of his administration in the eyes of the public.

“However you are looking at it, President Mahama has to react to this Sammy Gyamfi matter. In the end I remember that the code of conduct was only started a few days ago.

“Point C of the ethics declaration on p.12 also states that the minister has to fulfill its official duties and manage his personal affairs in a way that withstands the closest public examination.” In order to avoid doubts, the code of conduct applies to ministers, deputy minister, presidential employee, managing director and deputy managing director of nationals and para-state institutions, members of the State Council and other political representatives in the government-s. 10 “, he wrote on Facebook on May 11, 2025 on Facebook.

Effah Dartey

In his opinion, the private law practitioner and politician, captain Nkrabea Effah Dartey (RTD), is that the actions of Gyamfi are a conscious test of President John Mahama's determination to enforce the code of conduct for representatives.

He emphasized that crucial measures should be taken to set a clear example of the consequences of the violation of ethical standards.

“Sammy Gyamfi wants to test the president on the code of conduct and find out whether he is serious about his campaign, or it's a nine -day miracle or a mere joke.

“Because everyone who hears this knows that Sammy Gyamfi's action is not the best. So the president has to punish him and determine as an example,” he said as cited from adomonline.com.

Elvis Darko

The publisher of the Newscenta newspaper, Elvis Darko, has issued President John Dramani Mahama a strong warning and warned that the failure to reject Sammy Gyamfi from his position as deputy chairman of the Ghana Gold Board could consider the credibility of the recently introduced code of conduct for presidential regulations.

During an interview at the breakfast of Channel One on Monday, May 12th, Darko spoke the situation as a decisive test for the leadership of President Mahama and the practical enforceability of the code, which emphasized that the result will reflect the true attitude of the administration with regard to accountability and ethical government.

“The only thing that can save him is when the president decides that he will not be released. But here the president will be in a narrow corner. This is his first test after the start of the code of conduct.

“So if the president cannot relieve Sammy Gyamfi, the question is whether the following appointments also violate the code, then the president will have the honor of dismissing these people? If the president has now failed to fail that the President Sammy Gyamfi should not be released, this means that he has a certain conditions.
