Acting Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi has defended his decision to dole out cash to Evangelist Mama Pat.
He sees the gesture as a kind one and part of his daily and lifelong custom of lending a helping hand to people in need.
However, he used the opportunity to apologize to members of his political party who were hurt by the gesture, considering the fact that they do not have access to such opportunities when they have worked hard to bring the party to power. "To clarify, this was simply a kind gesture to a fellow human being, in line with my daily and life-long custom of lending a helping hand to people in need.I sincerely thought that I was doing this act of kindness in private, and never imagined that same could find its way into the public space.
That is unfortunate and regrettable," he said ina statement issued on May 11, 2025.
