The Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company Limited (PMMC), Nana Akwasi Awuah, has rejected claims that certain political figures attempted to smuggle gold bars out of Ghana.
Nana Awuah called the allegations baseless, stressing the transparency and integrity of the gold processing system at PMMC.
This follows an incident on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, where Joseph Yammin, the National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), allegedly led a mob to attack the National Assay Centre at the Aviance Cargo Terminal in Accra.
The mob reportedly tried to seize bullion bars meant for processing by the Central Bank of Ghana, under the mistaken belief that the gold was being secretly smuggled out of the country by political figures.
