I’m not afraid of any intimidating tactics – Sammy Gyamfi fires back at critics

Sammy Gyamfi, CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, dismissed concerns about intimidation or threats related to his work, emphasizing his dedication to serving Ghana. During a question-and-answer session, he dismissed some criticisms as reckless and lacking substance, comparing them to "fanciful effusions of a palm wine bar." The CEO further criticized the decline in parliamentary debate quality, highlighting the superior contributions of former parliamentarians like J.H.

Mensah, Papa Owusu-Ankomah, and Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu. Gyamfi accused the current Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, of lowering standards through noisy and poorly researched comments. Despite facing criticism and intimidation attempts, Gyamfi remained undeterred, stating he would face any consequences for his commitment to national service.

He assured that his actions were motivated by a sense of duty rather than personal or political motives, with his work's outcomes ultimately determining his judgment.
