Managing Editor of The Herald Newspaper, Larry Dogbey, has expressed concern over what he described as a rushed implementation of the newly introduced Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) initiative, urging the government to broaden stakeholder engagement and allow more time for public understanding.
Speaking on ChannelOne TV's Breakfast Daily on Tuesday, April 15, Dogbey criticised the approach taken by the government, suggesting that the rollout of the GoldBod framework lacked sufficient consultation with key industry players and the public. "I think a lot of things are being rushed, and the GoldBod is one of them.
I do not think the engagement process has been enough.
I think the government could have engaged more stakeholders in the passage and formulation of the act.
