Policy analyst and communication strategist Dr. Emmanuel Steve Asare Manteaw has described recent criticism of GoldBod and its Chief Executive Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, as politically motivated and rooted in personal attacks rather than institutional failure.
Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana monitored by MyNewsGh, Dr. Manteaw said he recently listened to an interview granted by Sammy Gyamfi and sensed growing frustration over what he described as a deliberate attempt to discredit the institution.
“He sounded a bit frustrated with what appears to be an attempt to demonise the institution,” he said, noting that Gyamfi had repeatedly referenced improvements made compared to past operations.
According to Dr. Manteaw, the sustained criticism has little to do with performance.
“I think the attack on the GoldBod is all because of Sammy Gyamfi. If you put another person there, all this noise will stop,” he stated.
He attributed the backlash to envy and urged the GoldBod CEO to remain focused.
“It can be frustrating when you are doing something with the best of intentions, and you find people trying to distract you from your mission,” he said.
Offering words of encouragement, Dr. Manteaw described Gyamfi as capable and widely supported.
“He’s a very smart guy. He’s doing a good job. He should remain focused. He’s got the majority of Ghanaians behind him and should not be distracted by the very few people making so much noise,” he added.
