GoldBod ‘losses’: I’m ready to face Parliament – Sammy Gyamfi
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has thrown down the gauntlet to Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, declaring that he is ready to appear before Parliament at any time to answer questions over allegations that the institution incurred massive losses through its gold trading operations.
Sammy Gyamfi, the CEO of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), has urged Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to invite him to Parliament to address allegations of massive losses incurred under the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP). Gyamfi stated he is prepared to appear before Parliament at any time to provide evidence and defend GoldBod against these allegations.
He believes a parliamentary inquiry would allow for a fair examination of the matter without the need for a special parliamentary motion. Gyamfi denied claims linking GoldBod to the financial losses, insisting he is ready to account for GoldBod's operations and defend the institution. Meanwhile, the Chairperson of Parliament's Public Accounts Committee, Abena Osei-Asare, called for a thorough investigation into reports suggesting GoldBod recorded losses amounting to US$1.7 billion, citing the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
