The intervention came after National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) CEO Eric Adjei weighed in on the controversy, arguing that reputational attacks were genuinely painful to endure.
"Chairman, it is not easy when someone destroys your reputation this way," Adjei said during the programme.
Sefa Kayi's 2019 encounter with Sammy Gyamfi
Sefa Kayi used Adjei's observation as a springboard to revisit his own history with Sammy Gyamfi.
During a 2019 appearance on Kokrokoo, Sefa Kayi had told the CEO boss, then a young lawyer, that he would one day occupy a position of significance and come to understand, firsthand, the hurt that comes with having one's name publicly dragged.
Reacting to Eric Adjei's claim about the ongoing saga, Sefa Kayi said:
"You now know how it feels; you know it is not easy for someone to destroy your reputation. Go out and bring me my stone," Sefa Kayi said.
The remark has added a personal dimension to what is already a sharply contested political dispute.
Genesis of Sammy Gyamfi and Afenyo-Markin Saga
Sefa Kayi's latest comment comes against the backdrop of a bitter dispute over claims that GoldBod incurred a loss in 2025.
Afenyo-Markin have repeatedly claimed, both on the floor of Parliament and through the media, that the organisation recorded a loss of US$1.7 billion during the earlier-said year.
Speaking at the Government Accountability Series on August 19, Sammy Gyamfi forcefully rejected the allegation. He described the claim as a falsehood that had already been disproved on multiple occasions.
