Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has called for a full parliamentary inquiry into the reported GH¢22 billion loss associated with the Bank of Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP). Afenyo-Markin, who represents the Effutu constituency, wants to determine how the US$1.7 billion loss occurred, which institutions and individuals were involved, and the financial decisions that led to the loss.
The Minority Caucus will push for parliamentary processes to conduct the inquiry. Afenyo-Markin emphasized that the money involved was public funds and thus subject to scrutiny by Parliament. He also wants details of the transactions, including the identities of off-takers, discounts applied to gold purchases, and the authority behind those discounts.
The Minority Caucus aims to publish its findings and sources in the public domain for Ghanaians to assess the evidence.
