The ongoing controversy involving Goldbod CEO Sammy Gyamfi during Mahama's second administration has drawn a response from a former Mahama appointee who faced severe consequences over similar dollar-related matters.
What may seem like ordinary currency for transactions, whether $1 million in whispers or bundles given as gifts, has proven more destructive than Thor's hammer, toppling prominent officials from their positions.
The latest incident began as what appeared to be a generous gesture when Mr Gyamfi, a vocal critic of the opposition NPP, gave self-styled evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng (formerly fetish priestess Nana Agradaa) cash on Saturday, May 11, 2025.
Unbeknownst to Mr Gyamfi, the scene captured in widely shared social media footage would spark major controversy, giving his opponents ammunition to demand his head on a plate.
