GoldBod row: Afenyo-Markin refuses to back down
The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has defended the Minority’s scrutiny of the Bank of Ghana’s (BoG) Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP), insisting that attempts to subject him to personal attacks will not distract him from demanding accountability over the programme’s reported losses.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has maintained his focus on demanding accountability for the Bank of Ghana's Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP) despite personal attacks. The controversy erupted after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) flagged the programme's reported US$1.7 billion loss, equivalent to about GH¢22 billion, in 2025.
Afenyo-Markin defended his questioning of the programme's financial implications and GoldBod's involvement, stating that these actions were part of Parliament's constitutional oversight responsibility. He rejected personal allegations against him, insisting they were false and intended to divert attention from the substantive issues.
The Minority Leader emphasized that his actions were guided solely by Parliament's responsibility to scrutinize public expenditure and hold institutions accountable.
