CHRAJ petition to investigate Sammy Gyamfi withdrawn – Nsemkeka
The private citizen who petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) over the display of wealth by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Goldbod, Samuel Gyamfi, has withdrawn his request for a probe.
Eric Dumenu Akatsi formally submitted a request to discontinue the probe in a formal letter submitted on May 13, 2025.
“I am writing to formally withdraw the petition I submitted on 13th May, 2025, with reference
number 122/12/BL. 12 regarding the instances of corruption against Sammy Gyamfi, CEO of the
Ghana Good Board. After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in the best interest to
withdraw this petition,” he stated.
“Accept this letter as formal notice of the withdrawal of the petition. Cease any further action related
to the petition. I appreciate the time and effort invested in reviewing the petition. If you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me”.
The incident in question occurred on Saturday, 10th May 2025, when Mr Gyamfi was seen in widely circulated videos gifting bundles of US dollars to controversial evangelist Nana Agradaa while seated in his Range Rover.Â
In his petition, Mr Akatsi referenced Article 218(e) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, which empowers CHRAJ to investigate alleged or suspected corruption and abuse of power by public officials.
He had called particular attention to Mr Gyamfi’s conduct in the video, labelling the dollar-splashing act as “a perfectly clear instance of alleged engagement in suspected corruptionâ€.
However, he wants the process discontinued entirely.
