The Member of Parliament for Walewale, Dr. Tiah Abdul-Kabiru Mahama, has issued yet another scathing criticism of President John Dramani Mahama, accusing him of prioritizing personal loyalty over constitutional duty in the aftermath of the controversial “Dollar Cash Saga” involving Goldbod Acting CEO, Sammy Gyamfi.
Speaking to Starr News, the Walewale MP condemned the President’s decision to accept an apology from Sammy Gyamfi after he was captured on camera handing out bundles of U.S. dollar notes to evangelist Nana Agradaa. Dr. Mahama argued that such a response was not only legally insufficient but indicative of a disturbing pattern of selective accountability at the highest levels of government.
“An apology is not a sufficient remedy for this violation. Under the Code of Conduct that Mr. Sammy Gyamfi has breached, there is no provision that allows an apology to substitute for legal penalties.
“The Minority is not surprised by this development; it only reinforces the kind of leadership we now have. The President has clearly assumed the role of a ‘clearing agent’—ironically, something he once accused his predecessor of being,” he said.
Dr. Mahama’s remarks come amid growing public frustration over what many perceive to be the government’s lenient treatment of its own appointees, even in the face of clear ethical breaches.
“I am deeply disappointed that the President would prioritize Sammy Gyamfi over the laws of the country.
“When he took office, he swore to protect the Constitution and uphold the rule of law. It is not his prerogative to place personal loyalty above national legal obligations. The President has no authority to override the law in favor of personal interests. He is constitutionally bound to respect and enforce the laws of this country,” he added.
