Makafui Woanyah, the Volta Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged President Mahama to dismiss Sammy Gyamfi, the CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, due to misconduct. Mr Woanyah claimed that Gyamfi's aggressive and demeaning language towards the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who is questioning the loss of $1.7 billion, is a clear violation of expectations for a public officer.
He stated that Gyamfi's actions are insulting not just Afenyo-Markin, but all citizens, including those from the Volta Region. Mr Woanyah emphasized that the loss of such a large sum of money does not belong to any single party; it belongs to every Ghanaian. He called for either the removal of Gyamfi or a public reprimand, insisting that if Gyamfi cannot be disciplined, it undermines confidence in President Mahama's leadership.
The NPP members nationwide are backing the minority's call for a comprehensive investigation into the loss, demanding full transparency and scrutiny of all documents related to the incident.
