Akwatia MP defends GoldBod, says IMF report didn’t blame it for losses

Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Bernard Bediako Baidoo, has defended the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) against claims that the institution incurred losses cited in a report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Mr Baidoo said the reference to losses appears on page 10, under paragraph 13 of the IMF report, but argued that the document specifically attributes the losses to the Bank of Ghana rather than GoldBod.“What the Minority, led by the respected leader, has insisted over the period is that Gold Board had incurred some losses according to a report by IMF.
