Seasoned journalist Fiifi Pratt has waded into the heated public discourse surrounding the viral video of Sammy Gyamfi handing dollars to evangelist Nana Agradaa, describing it as a test case for President John Mahama's ethical standards in governance.
Speaking during a segment on Good Morning Ghana, Fiifi Pratt said this was his "very first public comment on the matter" and underscored the weight of the controversy, calling it "a matter with many dimensions." Pratt praised Gyamfi as a charismatic and strategic communicator within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), noting, "There's no doubt at all that Sammy Gyamfi is a darling boy of the sitting president… and a very eloquent, efficient communicator." However, he pointed out that the scandal has sharply divided both major political parties, with contrasting views emerging even within the same camps. "The New Patriotic Party is split; some say he's done nothing wrong, others are demanding suspension and investigation.
The same is happening within the NDC," he observed.
What makes this case critical, according to Fiifi Pratt, is the symbolic weight it carries for Mahama's presidency. "Everybody has his or her eyes on President John Dramani Mahama and the Chief of Staff.
