  "account": "NPP Deputy General Secretary Haruna Mohammed has supported the Minority in Parliament's request for answers regarding the reported GH¢22 billion losses associated with Ghana's gold trading operations. The NPP believes the evidence points to GoldBod as the source of the losses, even though the Ghana Gold Board maintains the International Monetary Fund (IMF) report did not directly attribute the losses to GoldBod's operations. Speaking on JoyFM's Top Story, Mohammed expressed the NPP's stance that the relevant reports must be thoroughly examined to determine the origin of the losses. He emphasized that the Bank of Ghana, which currently handles gold trading under the legal framework, is responsible for the costs. Mohammed questioned why these losses should be reflected as a burden on the Bank of Ghana and called for a closer look at the Bank's records to identify the source of the costs. He argued that the NPP's interpretation of the available information suggests GoldBod is the culprit and that taxpayers have a right to question why this institution continues to incur losses.",
  "summary": "The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has backed the Minority in Parliament’s demand for answers over losses linked to Ghana’s gold trading operations, insisting that the matter requires a full investigation.",
