Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, speaking on behalf of the Minority in Parliament,at a press conference, has called on the government to explain the seizure of gold and cash by National Security in February.
The operation, which took place in a southern part of Accra, yielded 12 containers filled with gold bars and an unknown amount of US dollars and Ghanaian cedis. Despite widespread media coverage, the government has failed to provide updates on the matter, sparking concerns about the handling of the case.
Rev. Fordjour emphasized that the people of Ghana deserve to know the exact value of the seized assets and what will happen to them next. The Minority is demanding transparency, seeking answers about the ownership of the seized assets and the government’s plan for them.
With a two-month deadline given to National Security to provide answers, the Minority has vowed to continue pushing for accountability until the full truth is revealed. Rev. Fordjour warned that the lack of transparency could harm public trust, stressing that clear and truthful answers are necessary to maintain confidence in the government.
