The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, of breaching the Code of Conduct launched by the President last week.
The elephant family says Mr Gyamfi engaged in opulence and led an ostentatious lifestyle.
National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye, who made the claims at a press conference, posited that the video in which Sammy Gyamfi was seen giving self-styled evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, was an act of opulence.
In his opinion, what happened reflects a troubling level of extravagance for a government appointee.
He further noted that this demonstrated that Sammy Gyamfi did not trust in the local currency.
“It may have escaped many observers of this unfortunate incident, but not only was Mr Sammy Gyamfi giving out United States dollars without restraint, but he also engaged in painted opulence just after 120 days in government.
“On the day in question, Mr Gyamfi was being driven in a 2025 Range Rover Autobiography valued at $350,000,” he said.
“It is palpably unethical and a complete betrayal of the public trust for Mr Sammy Gyamfi to receive all these benefits on the back of helping maintain a steady currency, yet fail to have any iota of confidence in the Ghana cedi to the extent of using the US dollars of daily use,” he stated.
