  "summary": "Ghana Gold Board CEO Sammy Gyamfi has vehemently denied Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s allegations of a GH¢22 billion loss in the institution’s financial performance. In a recent statement, Gyamfi emphasized that GoldBod recorded an operational surplus of GH¢907 million and an overall surplus of GH¢5.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, in its audited 2025 financial statements. The dispute has escalated with Afenyo-Markin warning that current GoldBod officials could face stringent bail conditions if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) returns to power. However, Gyamfi dismissed these threats, describing them as part of a sustained campaign of lies aimed at tarnishing the institution’s reputation and pressuring its management. He vowed not to be intimidated by the allegations and political pressure, stating, “Well, this time around, they found the wrong target.”",
