The Concerned Small Scale Miners Association (CSSMA) has applauded Sammy Gyamfi for his leadership of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), saying he is helping turn President John Dramani Mahama’s vision for a transparent and regulated gold sector into reality.
In a statement, the association said, “Under the leadership of Mr. Gyamfi, this vision is steadily becoming a reality. His work has shown commitment to national interest, discipline in management, and respect for the role of small scale miners in Ghana’s economy.”
CSSMA commended Gyamfi for fair pricing, stronger engagement with miners, and efforts to curb gold smuggling.
“His promise to introduce a comprehensive and credible system for tracing gold purchases from source to sale is a major step toward ending illicit trade, protecting state revenue, and restoring integrity to the sector,” the statement said.
The association also highlighted the economic and environmental benefits of GoldBod’s operations, noting that they boost foreign exchange, strengthen macroeconomic stability, and reduce illegal mining.
CSSMA concluded by reaffirming its support, saying, “We stand firmly behind him in delivering President Mahama’s vision of a well regulated, transparent, and nationally beneficial gold sector.”
