Awuku particularly praised the appointment of Sammy Gyamfi as head of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), saying it shows the President’s dedication to promoting competence and giving young people a chance in government.“Let me also commend the president on some of the appointments he has made because he has recruited some young politicians into government.

He’s been the youth organiser, DC, and now the Minister for Youth and Sports.”“Sammy Gyamfi too has been appointed to oversee the PMMC. A solid guy, and I reject anyone who says he is too small for the position. Who do you expect should be appointed after toiling for his party? Even my successor, Alhaji Mohammed, is a solid man,” he stated.
