Bank of Ghana Governor Dr Johnson Asiama has revealed he resigned from the GoldBod Board of Directors around five months ago. This clarification follows questions raised by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regarding his membership on the board and whether this could lead to potential conflicts of interest. Dr Asiama stated he no longer attends GoldBod board meetings and emphasized the law does not require him to personally serve on the board.
The Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140) permits the Bank of Ghana to be represented by the Governor or any other official up to the rank of a director, rather than necessitating the Governor's attendance. Concerns have also been raised over the BoG's role in financing GoldBod's gold purchase operations and the central bank's financial involvement in GoldBod's activities.
