The Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, has come to the defence of the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, following backlash over a dollar donation he made to evangelist and former fetish priestess, Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.
A viral video widely circulated on social media shows Mr. Gyamfi handing over dollar notes to Nana Agradaa during a public event.
The footage has triggered public criticism, with many raising concerns about the appropriateness of such gestures by public officials, particularly at a time when the country is facing economic difficulties.
In response to the uproar, Mr. Gyamfi issued a public apology, clarifying that the donation was a personal act of generosity and was not intended to attract public attention.
Despite this, he has reportedly been summoned by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah to explain the circumstances surrounding the gesture.
Amid the growing debate, Madina MP Francis-Xavier Sosu took to Facebook on May 12 to voice his support for Mr. Gyamfi, asserting that the GoldBod CEO had done nothing wrong.
“It is well. You committed no crime. The haters are hurt. They can’t believe that God can lift and bless you such that you can become a blessing unto others. Leave them – let them do their worst. We got you. God has your back. Stay focused and blessed,” Mr. Sosu posted.
