  "summary": "GoldBod, the Ghana Gold Board, has rejected claims by Dr Gideon Boako, a Tano North MP and Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament’s Finance Committee, that it owes the Bank of Ghana (BoG) an unpaid overdraft of about GH¢1 billion. GoldBod described the claim as \"totally false\" and accused Dr Boako of engaging in a deliberate and malicious smear campaign. The MP made the claim amid political and economic debates over GoldBod's financial performance and the accounting treatment of losses associated with the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP).",
