Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe appeals to Ghanaians to forgive Sammy Gyamfi over dollar gift to Agradaa
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Lawyer and National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal team member, Edudzi Tamakloe, has appealed to the public to forgive Sammy Gyamfi following a viral video showing the Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board handing over what is believed to be U.S. dollar notes to controversial religious figure Nana Agradaa.

Speaking on a media platform, Tamakloe acknowledged the widespread concerns surrounding the incident and admitted that the gesture cannot be justified, especially in light of the ethical standards expected of public officeholders.

“The good people of Ghana should find it in their hearts to forgive Sammy Gyamfi,” he pleaded. “The act, even if it was done with good intentions, falls short of the standards we expect from those who hold public trust.”

Tamakloe stressed that the video—which has triggered national debate—was deeply unfortunate and that Gyamfi himself has recognized the lapse in judgment. According to the lawyer, the gesture was a personal act of kindness that has unfortunately become a matter of national concern.

He reiterated that Sammy Gyamfi has since apologized publicly, expressing regret for any distress or reputational harm the incident may have caused. “He has shown remorse. He acknowledges that the gesture, though personal, did not sit well with the public and could be seen as a breach of decorum and ethical standards.”

Tamakloe further noted that Ghana’s recently launched Code of Conduct for Public Officials sets a high moral bar for all officeholders and that this episode must serve as a learning experience for others in similar positions.

“Under the current standards, public officials must be extremely careful about how their actions are perceived, especially in the age of viral media and heightened public scrutiny,” he added.

The lawyer concluded his remarks with a call for national reflection, noting that while the gesture was inappropriate, it should be treated as a teachable moment and not an opportunity for political point-scoring.

The incident continues to spark discussions on public ethics, accountability, and the boundaries of personal conduct in public office.
