ACEPA backs full probe of Domestic Gold Purchase Programme from inception

The Executive Director of the Africa Center for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA), Dr Rasheed Draman, has called for independent voices to be included in any parliamentary probe into Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.

Speaking on Joy FM's Newsnight on Tuesday, August 25, he argued that the probe should not be limited to the period following the establishment of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), particularly amid competing claims between the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) over when and how losses occurred.

Dr Dramani stressed that a comprehensive and transparent examination of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme would ultimately benefit the country by providing clarity on the financial performance of the programme and ensuring accountability.
