The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has received a formal request to investigate alleged corruption involving Mr. Samuel Gyamfi, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod).
The petition was submitted by a concerned citizen, Eric Dumenu Akatsi, who is calling for a full investigation into Mr. Gyamfi’s finances and conduct, citing Article 218(e) of the 1992 Constitution.
According to the petition, Mr. Gyamfi was seen in a widely circulated video handing out dollar notes to the self acclaimed Evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Agradaa, while sitting in a luxury Range Rover.
Mr. Akatsi claims this act suggests unexplained wealth and alleges that Mr. Gyamfi holds two bank accounts at Consolidated Bank Ghana—one in Ghana cedis and another in U.S. dollars—with a combined total of over GHS 100 million.
The petition states that such large deposits only started appearing after Mr. Gyamfi assumed his current role. “This, I contend, including the splashing of dollars, leads to the irresistible conclusion—supported by the accuracy of mathematics—that these are instances of suspected corruption,” Mr. Akatsi wrote.
He further cited his civic duty under Article 41(f) of the Constitution to report suspected corruption and called on CHRAJ to investigate the source of Mr. Gyamfi’s wealth and financial dealings.
