We are jealous of each other. When an NDC person is getting rich, his enemy is from within, yet we don’t see that as a problem... - Mustapha Gbande (NDC Deputy General Secretary)

While GoldBod has made a $1.7 billion loss, Sammy Gyamfi has become one of Ghana's richest men and the most powerful in the NDC after JM. Video 1 is his modest wedding. Watch what happened after his party came to power, the luxurious funeral for his father-in-law.
In opposition. In power.
"I campaigned for John Dramani Mahama to win the December 7, 2024 elections because I took the view that he had learnt his lessons from being the only President to have been defeated at the polls after one-four-year tenure as President of Ghana. The on-going partisan developments of protecting party members and going after political adversaries are not vindicating me, they put me to shame." - *Martin Amidu* https://t.co/euebMOFUtK
“If the lessons had been learnt, a $1.7bn loss would not have been incurred again in 2025” — Kwadwo Nsafoah Poku
Energy Analyst and NPP member Kwadwo Nsafoah Poku argues that the Bank of Ghana should have applied lessons from the forex losses recorded in 2024 under the previous NPP administration when managing the domestic gold purchase programme.

Sammy Gyamfi says Afenyo-Markin is an “extortionist” and even dares Leader to sue him.
Let’s be serious for a moment.
If the NDC government genuinely had evidence that the Minority Leader had committed extortion, an offence under Section 151 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), do we honestly believe he would simply be left to walk free?
A government that has been quick to arrest citizens over alleged offensive comments on social media, how much more a sitting Minority Leader accused of a second-degree felony?
The burden, however, remains on Sammy Gyamfi, the person making the allegation, to prove it. Afenyo-Markin is not required to prove his innocence because someone has made an allegation against him.
So, where is the evidence?
Or is this simply another PR gimmick to divert attention from the questions surrounding the alleged 1.7 billion loss?
He who alleges must prove.
When we started the Revolution in 1979/81; we were fearless.
Today, the NDC is full of fearful people.
We shall take back control of our fearless NDC.

The Ministry of Local Government has spent over GH¢400 million so far on the design and supervision of 24-hour markets. All these contracts were awarded through sole sourcing.
Some people have already become millionaires before a single market is even built! 💔🇬🇭
Over the past week, all manner of insults and personal attacks have been directed at me, apparently in an attempt to impugn my character and divert attention from the substantive questions I have raised. False and defamatory allegations have also been made about my motives for questioning the losses incurred under the Bank of Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme and the role of GoldBod in those transactions.
These allegations are entirely false, and I reject them without qualification.
As Minority Leader in Parliament, my responsibility is to help Parliament discharge its constitutional oversight function. My actions have been guided solely by that responsibility. I have neither acted from any improper motive nor conducted myself inappropriately in the performance of my duties.
I recognise that, in public life, those who are uncomfortable with legitimate scrutiny may push back. In some cases, they may resort to false allegations, personal attacks and ridicule in an effort to shift attention from the substantive issues and make the person asking the questions the subject of controversy.
I remain focused. I will continue working with the Minority Caucus to initiate the necessary parliamentary processes for a full inquiry into the reported GH¢22 billion loss arising from the trading done by the GoldBod and reflected in the books of the Bank of Ghana.
The International Monetary Fund has reported a loss of approximately US$1.7 billion under this programme in 2025. Whichever institution’s balance sheet carries that figure, it represents public money. Ghanaians are, therefore, entitled to know who the off-takers were, what discounts were applied to their purchases, on whose authority those discounts were approved, and what fees were earned from the transactions.
They are equally entitled to a full disaggregation of the US$1.7 billion: how much arose from foreign-exchange differentials; how much resulted from the prices at which GoldBod bought and sold the gold; and what considerations informed the management decisions behind those transactions.
These questions belong in the public record. The Minority will continue to place them there, in writing and with our sources published, so that every Ghanaian can examine the evidence and arrive at an informed judgment, rather than merely take my word or anyone else’s.
On the defamatory statements made against me personally, I intend to pursue the appropriate legal remedies. Meanwhile, my attention, and that of the Caucus I lead, remains firmly focused on the programme, the decisions taken and the public funds involved.
Signed
Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin
Minority Leader in Parliament

The Member of Parliament for Aowin, Hon. Oscar Ofori Larbi, has condemned the demolition of an existing market in the constituency to pave the way for the construction of a proposed 24-hour market.
According to the MP, he was not informed about the demolition and considers the decision inappropriate, arguing that there are several available lands in the constituency that could be used for the project without destroying an existing market.

He looked helpless this morning.. I don’t know why he’s still at post. In any serious jurisdiction, Sammy should have been fired by now after causing this mess. Infact together with the BoG Governor.
They did all the propaganda in opposition.. s33 scammers paa. They don’t seem to have any direction. No plan, no proper strategy, no proper policy.
I like how the panelists dealt with him. You can’t accuse Dr Bawumia of owning Hubtel and today expect Ghanaians to handle you the way you want it. Concert!
