The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, has made his first public appearance after the dollar gift saga.

Sammy Gyamfi, for the past few days, has become the talk of the town following a video of him gifting some dollar notes to Ghanaian televangelist, Patricia Asiedu, popularly known as Agradaa.

The two met at a public event, exchanged pleasantries, took some photos and just as they were about to exit the scene, Agradaa asked Sammy Gyamfi for money for fuel.

The GoldBod CEO went into his car and pulled out some dollar notes, counted a portion and stretched forth his hand to give the money to Agradaa, however, she snatched all the dollar notes from his hand.

The scene has stoked public outrage, with many condemning Sammy Gyamfi, who holds a public office, for publicly gifting Agradaa the dollars.

He later issued a public apology, but Ghanaians felt it was not enough. Many called for sanctions against him, including terminating his contract. Gyamfi would later be summoned to the Jubilee House by President John Mahama's Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, to answer for his actions.
