Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Minority Leader and Effutu MP, has raised concerns regarding the financial operations of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod). He disputes the explanation that recent losses in gold trading are solely attributable to market fluctuations. Afenyo-Markin argues that the recorded losses indicate potential mismanagement within the Board. He insists that a deeper investigation into GoldBod’s financial practices is necessary to determine the cause of the losses. The MP’s comments call for greater accountability and transparency in the handling of gold trading activities undertaken by the state-owned entity. This scrutiny comes as questions linger about the Board’s ability to operate profitably and efficiently. He believes losses should not be easily dismissed without proper examination.
