Sammy Gyamfi saga: Minority’s petition ‘dead on arrival’ – Dr. Ntiamoah

A member of the National Democratic Congress’s Communications Team, Dr. Frederick Ntiamoah, has downplayed the Minority’s petition demanding investigations into the Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, over his controversial dollar-gifting video, describing it as “dead on arrival.”

This comes after the Minority in Parliament formally petitioned three state bodies – the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) – to probe whether Mr. Gyamfi’s act of handing U.S. dollars to televangelist Nana Agradaa breached public service ethics, anti‑corruption laws, or administrative protocols.

The petition came despite the Minister of State in charge of Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, announcing on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, that President Mahama had accepted Mr. Gyamfi’s public apology, cautioned him, and indicated that no further action would be taken.

The Minority, however, insists that independent probes are necessary to restore public confidence and fully determine whether Mr. Gyamfi’s conduct violated the Foreign Exchange Act or the Code of Conduct for Public Office Holders.

Speaking on the Weekly Review Segment on the Morning Starr with Naa Dedei Tettey, Dr. Ntiamoah argued that the Minority’s legal basis for demanding an investigation was flawed.

Dr. Ntiamoah maintained that, in the absence of credible allegations or supporting evidence, the petition cannot proceed.

He described the petition as dead on arrival saying, “If they are talking about investigating the source of his money, nobody has complained about that, it’s their constitutional right and they have the right to do so. But if they want to talk about money laundering, then that one I think they have missed a point. Because if you look at the petition, it’s dead on arrival. It will not stand any litmus test in terms of our law. If you look at what they are using as the law to buttress their claim or their petition, it doesn’t hold substance.”
