Nana Boakye and the NPP alleges Sammy Gyamfi receives lavish benefits as Ghana GoldBod CEO following the controversial dollar sharing video involving Nana Agradaa.
In a startling revelation, Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has accused Sammy Gyamfi, the CEO of Ghana GoldBod and a key figure in the National Democratic Congress (NDC), of receiving an annual salary of GH¢1.5 million along with exorbitant perks.

According to Boakye, Gyamfi’s benefits include a GH¢150,000 clothing allowance, $2,000 daily during a 30-day vacation, two official vehicles, and a personal accident and life cover valued at GH¢7.5 million. These allegations come at a time when the NPP, now in opposition following the NDC’s victory in the 2024 elections, is scrutinizing the financial dealings of the new government.
The claims have sparked a heated debate about the appropriateness of such compensation, especially in a country where many citizens face economic hardships. The NPP’s accusations are part of a broader narrative questioning the transparency and accountability of the NDC administration under President John Mahama. As the political landscape in Ghana continues to evolve, such disclosures are likely to intensify public and political discourse on governance and the use of resources, both public and private.
This development underscores the ongoing rivalry between the NPP and NDC, with each party leveraging financial scrutiny to gain political leverage. The NDC has yet to respond officially to these allegations, but the issue is expected to dominate discussions as Ghanaians assess the implications of such high-level compensations amidst national economic challenges. The situation highlights the delicate balance between executive remuneration and public perception in a democracy where economic equality remains a significant concern.
