The Acting Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) and Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi has said that no permanent worked of PMMC has been sacked by the John Dramani Mahama administration.
According to Sammy Gyamfi, Ghanaians should disregard the propaganda that current PMMC employees have been replaced with unqualified individuals.
He said in an interview on Channel One TV on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, that no permanent staff member has been affected by the recent restructuring efforts.
He acknowledged, however, that some contract staff, particularly those working at PMMC’s satellite offices and their out stations had been let go, citing purely operational reasons for these decisions.
“All permanent workers of the PMMC at the main office of the PMMC numbering over 93 are still there and are automatic staff of the GOLDBOD,” he said.
Mr. Gyamfi explained that these staffing changes are part of a wider reform initiative aimed at revitalizing Ghana’s mineral sector.
