Lawyer Martin Kpebu thinks someone broke the law when they filmed Ghana Gold Board boss Sammy Gyamfi giving cash to Nana Agradaa. He said on TV3 that people should not record others inside their cars. The money counting happened in a private space protected under Article 18 of our laws. Mr Gyamfi did not show off his money on the street or public area. He handed dollars as a gift to the preacher.
Kpebu explained during the Saturday show that people asking for punishment must understand Mr Gyamfi earns enough to give such gifts. The lawyer sees no reason for alarm since the amount matches what an official might afford. The president decided to warn Mr Gyamfi about his actions rather than fire him. Officials accepted his earlier apology as enough under the new rules for government workers. Many still question whether filming someone without permission should lead to spreading videos online.
