GoldBod losses remain key on Minority agenda as Parliament reconvenes – Afenyo-Markin
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has reaffirmed the NPP caucus’ commitment to investigating the alleged loss of more than $1.7 billion linked to GoldBod and the Bank of Ghana.
Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has reiterated the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Caucus' determination to investigate the alleged loss of over US$1.7 billion related to the Bank of Ghana's Domestic Gold Purchase Programme and the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod). The statement came after a meeting with NPP flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia at his residence in Accra.
Following the meeting, Afenyo-Markin emphasized that the report, equivalent to roughly 1.5% of Ghana's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), would remain a top priority for the Minority in the upcoming Parliament session. He conveyed Dr. Bawumia's commendation for the Minority's efforts and their commitment to holding the government accountable.
The Minority is set to push for parliamentary scrutiny of the reported losses, with the NPP Caucus anticipated to table an inquiry motion once Parliament reconvenes.
