Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75233, member: 636"] Sammy Gyamfi from GoldBod got handed the Suma Adinkra Sword by Paramount Chief Odeneho Dr. Affram Brempong III for basically turning Ghana's gold game around. The award goes back over 470 years, and past presidents like Kufuor, Akufo-Addo, and Mahama have all gotten it before. Gyamfi pushed through reforms that helped small-scale miners get better training and market access while running programs like the Domestic Gold Purchase thing. His work apparently helped stabilize the exchange rate and made Ghana look better in the international gold scene. The Asantehene called him patriotic and said he's shifting the country away from just reacting to illegal mining toward actually planning long-term. The whole honor is basically recognition that his team at GoldBod is doing something right with how they handle the mineral sector. [/QUOTE]
