Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader of Parliament, has cautioned that officials from the Ghana Gold Board will be held accountable for reported financial losses under the Bank of Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme. Speaking to journalists at Parliament House in Accra, the Minority Leader affirmed that the Minority Caucus would persistently seek answers regarding the substantial financial losses to the state.
Afenyo-Markin emphasized that criticism and personal attacks would not deter the Caucus from pursuing transparency in GoldBod’s operations. He declared firmly, "The Minority will say this firmly and boldly. It doesn’t matter the adjectives you will use to attack our personality. We know that a day of reckoning will come. They should remember that post-regime accountability awaits them."
The warning came in response to an August 2025 International Monetary Fund (IMF) report, which alleged that the BoG’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme managed by GoldBod incurred losses surpassing $1.7 billion in 2025, equivalent to 1.5 percent of Ghana’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Minority Caucus has recently raised concerns over the GoldBod’s fee structures, pricing decisions, and the arrangement for funding the programme, which Afenyo-Markin asserts the Minority will continue to scrutinize both the GoldBod and the government.
