Ghanaian broadcast journalist Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has sparked controversy after questioning the appointment of Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), as the Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC).

President made the appointment on January 16, 2025, tasking Gyamfi with setting up the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), a key promise in the NDC's 2024 manifesto.

However, Afrifa-Mensah expressed his dissatisfaction with the appointment on Facebook, which led to widespread criticism from social media users.

He wrote: "Sammy Gyamfi, who worked for Exton Cubic, the company that was close to acquiring Nhyinahin Bauxite, is the new CEO PMMC? 🤐🤐🤐".
