Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah Intercedes on Sammy Gyamfi's Behalf Amid Dollar Gift Saga

• Rev Owusu Bempah has appealed to President John Mahama to forgive Sammy Gyamfi over his cash donation to Nana Agradaa
• A viral video showed the NDC politician doling out dollars to the former priestess-turned-evangelist, sparking continued criticism
• Following public backlash, Gyamfi issued a heartfelt apology for the incident, describing his action as a private act of kindness

Founder of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, has pleaded with President John Mahama to temper justice with mercy amid the indiscretion of Sammy Gyamfi.

Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Gold Board and an NDC politician, was recently captured in a viral video doling out dollars to former priestess-turned-evangelist Nana Agradaa.

This incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling for Gyamfi's removal as the CEO of the board, also known as GoldBod.

While sharing his opinion on the issue, Rev Owusu Bempah begged President Mahama to forgive the young politician for his actions.

He said the alleged $800 gifted to Nana Agradaa was nothing to Gyamfi, arguing that he was a wealthy man even before joining mainstream politics.

The man of God recounted a moment where NDC politician Gyamfi visited a renowned pastor to gift him a stack of money.

He called politics a numbers game and said the gesture could potentially attract Agradaa and others to support Ghana's ruling party.

"Sammy Gyamfi is a very kind man, and his kindness is attracting a lot of people to the NDC. So, I plead with supporters of the party to forgive him. Let's not forget the good he has done for a lot of people," Rev Owusu Bempah pleaded.

Sammy Gyamfi publicly apologises for dollar gift

In light of the backlash, Gyamfi has apologised for the incident, pleading with Ghanaians and supporters of the NDC to forgive him.

In a Facebook post, the GoldBod CEO described the donations as a private act of kindness, which he did not expect would become public.

"I sincerely thought that I was doing this act of kindness in private and never imagined that the same could find its way into the public space. That is unfortunate and regrettable."
