NPP Deputy Communications Director Ernest Kofi Owusu Bempah defends Ghana Gold Board CEO Sammy Gyamfi about the money given to evangelist Agradaa. A video spread online showing Gyamfi handing cash to the former fetish priestess. Gyamfi apologized Sunday for what he called an unfortunate action. Critics from both parties demanded his suspension after the incident. Parliament members joined calls asking for him to step down.
Owusu Bempah said on NET2 TV that nobody should criticize Gyamfi since he can afford whatever he gives. He claimed former NPP officials spent $50,000 on women privately without facing similar attacks. The NPP spokesman argued that $10,000 seems like an amount Gyamfi could easily afford. He stated people would have reason to worry only if money disappeared from official accounts. Bempah dismissed all criticism as simple jealousy without proof of wrongdoing.
