Kennedy Agyapong, former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has strongly criticized President John Dramani Mahama’s decision not to take disciplinary action against Sammy Gyamfi over the recent dollar gift controversy.
The issue arose after a viral video showed Gyamfi giving U.S. dollars to evangelist Mama Pat, popularly known as Agradaa, sparking concern about potential legal and ethical violations.
Gyamfi defended his actions by stating that he was simply assisting someone in need, a practice he claims is part of his everyday life.
Despite public concerns, President Mahama opted not to impose further consequences, citing Gyamfi’s explanation and the caution already given.
Speaking at an event on National leadership and entrepreneurship at the Central University College, Kennedy Agyapong argued that Sammy Gyamfi should have been dismissed immediately, asserting that clear evidence made an investigation unnecessary.
He also criticized nepotism and favouritism in public service, warning that such practices hinder national progress.
Additionally, he highlighted the struggles young graduates face in securing opportunities due to a lack of connections, which he believes leads to unqualified individuals occupying key roles.
His comments have added to the ongoing debate about political accountability and ethical conduct in governance.
