Ghanaian citizen Eric Dumenu Akatsi has expressed concerns about his safety after filing a complaint against Sammy Gyamfi, National Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress.
Akatsi reported Gyamfi to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) over a video showing Gyamfi giving a large sum of US dollars to Evangelist Nana Agradaa.
Akatsi claims that since submitting his complaint, he has received numerous threatening and insulting phone calls from unknown individuals. He believes his actions are a civic duty, and he is seeking accountability from public officials. Akatsi’s decision to file a complaint stems from his desire to ensure that public officials act with integrity and transparency.
The complaint centers around the video evidence, which Akatsi says shows suspicious activity. In the video, Gyamfi is seen giving Nana Agradaa a substantial amount of US dollars. Akatsi argues that this transaction warrants investigation, as it may indicate corruption or improper conduct.
Additionally, Akatsi alleges that Gyamfi has large bank accounts at Consolidated Bank Ghana, with sudden and unexplained deposits totaling over 100 million Ghana cedis. Akatsi is calling for an investigation into the source of these funds, as he believes they may be linked to corrupt activities.
Akatsi emphasizes that his actions are not driven by politics but rather a desire for transparency and accountability. He believes citizens have the right to report concerns about public officials and that such claims should be thoroughly investigated. By speaking out, Akatsi aims to promote good governance and ensure that public officials are held to high standards.
The situation highlights the importance of citizens being able to report concerns and the need for investigations when serious allegations are made. Akatsi’s complaint has sparked a broader conversation about the role of citizens in holding public officials accountable and the importance of transparency in government.
