  "account": "Lawyer and NPP Communications Team member Bernard Owiredu Donkor is urging for a bipartisan investigation into the alleged GH¢22 billion losses linked to Ghana's gold purchasing operations. The investigation should not be perceived as a political dispute between the ruling party and opposition. Donkor stressed that the probe must encompass the entire gold purchasing process, from extraction to the Bank of Ghana. He argued that an independent investigation is necessary to ascertain the facts, identify responsible parties, and implement preventive measures against similar incidents in the future. Donkor emphasized the importance of conducting the investigation during the current administration to prevent it from becoming a political controversy later. The inquiry should focus on determining if the institutions and individuals involved adhered to proper procedures during each stage of the gold transaction.",
  "summary": "Lawyer and Member of NPP Communications Team Bernard Owiredu Donkor, has called for a bipartisan probe into the reported GH¢22 billion losses associated with Ghana’s gold purchasing operations, saying a comprehensive investigation is needed to establish the facts and ensure accountability.",
