Afenyo-Markin demands answers over alleged GH¢22bn GoldBod loss

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has called for answers from the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) regarding a reported GH¢22 billion loss allegedly incurred by the state-owned institution. At a press conference in Parliament, Afenyo-Markin stated that the Minority will continue to question GoldBod's financial operations, despite criticism from the institution's management.

He emphasized that GoldBod is responsible for the financial loss to the state and vowed to continue raising the issue. GoldBod's CEO Sammy Gyamfi has denied the allegations of financial loss, citing the institution's audited 2025 financial statements as proof of its financial health. Afenyo-Markin, however, warned that the Minority will not be deterred by any attempts to discredit its members and that accountability in the management of public resources will be demanded.
