Dr. Gideon Boako, the Member of Parliament for Tano North, has called for an investigation into the sale of Ghana's gold reserves. He expressed his concerns during a debate in Parliament.
Boako stated that the sale of 18 tonnes of gold is deeply troubling. He believes the transaction could have been motivated by criminal intentions.
The MP wants an independent body to look into the matter. This is to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of national assets.
Details of the specific transaction and the buyer were not immediately clear. Boako highlighted the importance of safeguarding Ghana's gold resources.
He emphasized that such significant sales require thorough scrutiny. This is to prevent any potential abuse or mismanagement of state property.
The demand for an investigation follows discussions on the State of the Nation Address.
