Member of Parliament for Tano North, Dr. Gideon Boako, has called for a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry. This follows concerns he raised about the sale of 18 tonnes of Ghana’s gold reserves.
Dr. Boako spoke on Wednesday, March 4, during a debate in Parliament. The debate focused on the State of the Nation Address.
He described the sale of the gold as questionable. The MP stated his belief that the transaction may have been criminal in nature.
Further details about the specific circumstances of the sale were not immediately available. The investigation would seek to clarify these details.
Parliament now faces a request to look into the matter. The inquiry aims to ensure transparency in the management of national resources. A named official has requested this action.
