According to the statement, the officers believe Sammy Gyamfi’s actions were motivated by “misguided generosity rather than misconduct” and praised his continued commitment to national progress through his leadership of the Ghana Gold Board.
They further lauded his calmness and maturity throughout the ordeal, citing the withdrawal of the CHRAJ complaint as a sign of his “strength of character.”
Led by their Dean, Richard Kirk-Mensah, the sixteen Regional Communications Officers and their deputies reaffirmed their full support for Gyamfi, expressing confidence in his dedication to the NDC and the country.
