The Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour, Abraham Koomson, has urged Ghanaians to stop crying wolf over the gifting of dollars to Agradaa by the Chief Executive Officer of Goldbod, Sammy Gyamfi.

According to him, Sammy Gyamfi did not breach the Code of Conduct, and those calling for his dismissal should refrain from politicising the matter.

In an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb Business, the labour expert described the controversy surrounding the CEO of Goldbod as unfortunate.

“I don't see anything wrong with it. It is unfortunate this happened, but he has not violated any ethics.

“They shouldn't politicise this issue. I see nothing wrong with it... What he did, did not violate the Code of Conduct,” he added.

The controversy erupted when Sammy Gyamfi was captured in a viral video gifting US$800 in cash to fetish priestess turned pastor, Evangelist Patricia Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.

His actions sparked widespread public backlash, bu he later apologised, stating that his gesture was motivated by kindness toward the poor and needy.

But the former Member of Parliament for Kumbungu Constituency, Ras Mubarak, has opined that Sammy Gyamfi's actions could undermine the value of the local currency and have serious consequences for the economy.

He said the Goldbod's CEO's actions could be interpreted as a lack of confidence in the cedi, despite its recent appreciation.
