The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee and Member of Parliament for Gushegu Constituency, Hassan Tampuli, has accused the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GoldBod, Sammy Gyamfi, and the institution of causing Ghana a financial loss of GH¢22 billion.

“Sammy Gyamfi, the Bank of Ghana, and GoldBod have caused us a financial loss of GH¢22 billion,” he said.

Lawyer Tampuli said that, when divided among Ghanaians, the loss amounts to about GH¢700 per person.

“If you divide this loss by 32 million Ghanaians, it means every Ghanaian will owe GH¢700 just because of the GH¢22 billion. Whether you are a child, teenager, adult, or aged, Sammy Gyamfi has imposed a GH¢700 debt on you without you committing any crime,” he stressed.

He questioned whether voters had chosen the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to fix the country’s problems or to worsen them.

“We voted for a new government to come and fix our problems, or did we vote them to come and worsen our problems?” he asked.

Tampuli said that if the NDC is rewarding people who supported it to win power in 2024, then the people of Gushegu who also voted deserve similar rewards.

“When you move from here, every constituent should advocate for their share of the goodies the NDC is dishing out to those they claim supported them to win power, because you all voted,” he noted.

“I know many people in Gushegu voted for the NDC, but they are still suffering.

Let’s ensure the NDC also gives you the Voxy vehicles they are handing out to people. I am advocating that Gushegu NDC members should be given their Voxy vehicles and should not be discriminated against,” he added.
