Sammy Gyamfi distracting Ghanaians from ‘BoG-GoldBod’ losses with extortion allegations – Oppong Nkrumah
Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has accused the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) of attempting to divert conversations around losses incurred by the Bank of Ghana (BoG).
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, has been accused by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, of attempting to divert public attention away from losses incurred by the Bank of Ghana. In a recent report by the International Monetary Fund, it was revealed that significant scaling up of Domestic Gold Purchase Programme operations in 2025 led to losses of over US$1.7 billion, which is 1.5% of the GDP.
The minority caucus and opposition members have accused Gyamfi of contributing to these losses. However, Gyamfi has vehemently denied these allegations and, in a rebuttal, alleged that Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin is an "extortionist". Nkrumah claims that Gyamfi's claims are a diversion tactic aimed at shifting public focus from accountability issues related to the management of Ghana's gold resources and central bank finances.
He urged Ghanaians to remain focused on demanding transparency and accountability in transactions, rather than being influenced by unfounded allegations.
