Minority will speak boldly on GoldBod losses despite attacks – Afenyo-Markin vows
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has vowed that the Minority will continue to demand answers from the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) over what he says is a GH¢22 billion loss to the state.
The Minority Leader and Effutu MP, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has vowed to persistently demand answers from the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) concerning a reported GH¢22 billion financial loss to the state. At a press conference in Parliament on August 18, Mr. Afenyo-Markin declared that the Minority would not be dissuaded by attacks or criticism from GoldBod officials.
He insisted that GoldBod must provide an account of the alleged loss, stating that the circumstances outlined by the Minority constitute financial loss to the state. "So they must account for the GH¢22 billion loss," Mr. Afenyo-Markin asserted. The Minority Leader emphasized that GoldBod bears responsibility for the financial loss and vowed to address the issue with firmness and boldness, regardless of the descriptions used by GoldBod management.
He reiterated the Minority's stance on the need for accountability in managing the country's gold resources and warned that those found guilty of wrongdoing would eventually have to answer for their actions. This conflict over the financial performance of GoldBod has intensified calls for increased scrutiny of the institution's financial records and operations, with the Minority insisting that GoldBod must provide further clarification on what it deems to be financial losses.
