A call for a thorough investigation into the Ghana Gold Board has been made by Abena Osei-Asare. She is the former Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Atiwa East.
The demand comes after a report from the International Monetary Fund. The report indicated significant losses in the domestic gold purchase program.
These losses are estimated to be around 1.7 billion US dollars. The International Monetary Fund's assessment highlighted the financial shortfall.
Osei-Asare spoke at a press briefing on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. She emphasized the need for transparency and accountability within the board.
The Ghana Gold Board is responsible for managing the nation's gold resources. Its operations are now under scrutiny due to the reported financial deficit.
Further details regarding the scope and timeline of the investigation are expected.
