The Minority Caucus has expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency surrounding National Security’s February 9 raid on a warehouse in Sapeiman, Ga South Municipality.
The operation led to the discovery of twelve 20-foot containers filled with gold bars and an unspecified amount of cash in various denominations, estimated to be worth billions of dollars.
Speaking on the matter at a presser on Tuesday April 1, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, criticised the failure of National Security to update the public on their investigations, nearly two months after the operation.
He pointed out that the culprits have yet to be identified and prosecuted, and details regarding the exact quantity of gold and cash retrieved remain undisclosed.
“The legitimate question Ghanaians are asking is: does the government through National Security intend to divert the twelve containers of gold and cash, only to turn around to deceive the public in the end?” Rev Fordjour queried.
The Minority assured the public that they would continue to push for accountability and transparency. They called on the Minister for Interior, who also oversees National Security, to provide a comprehensive briefing on the status of the investigation and disclose plans for the gold and cash currently in state custody.
Rev Fordjour emphasised the importance of prosecuting those involved in the operation to ensure justice and restore public confidence in government institutions.
He reiterated the Minority’s commitment to advocating for credible communication on the matter.
