The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has received a formal petition requesting an investigation into Samuel Gyamfi, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, over alleged corruption.
The petition, filed by a citizen identified as Eric Dumenu Akatsi, invokes Article 218(e) of the 1992 Constitution and accuses Gyamfi of conduct inconsistent with the ethics required of public officials.
The allegations stem from a viral video purportedly showing Gyamfi lavishly splashing U.S. dollar bills on popular evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah (Agradaa) on May 10, 2025, from his luxury Range Rover.
Akatsi described the act as a “clear indication of unexplained wealth,” further alleging that Gyamfi maintains two private accounts at Consolidated Bank Ghana, containing deposits exceeding GHS 100 million.
He claims that before Gyamfi’s appointment, these accounts did not reflect such substantial inflows.
“It is important to understand that, prior to his current position, these accounts never had the said substantial inflows. This, I contend, including the splashing of dollars, leads to the irresistible conclusion, supported by the accuracy of mathematics, that these are instances of suspected corruption.”
Akatsi insists that his civic responsibility under Article 41(f) compels him to push for accountability.
He has urged CHRAJ to conduct a full investigation into the source of Gyamfi’s alleged wealth and financial activities.
