I have followed the domestic gold purchase programme (DGPP) closely enough since its inception to make a few observations.

From a transparency standpoint, the programme was shrouded in a lot of secrecy. At one point, it wasn’t even clear which aggregators the Bank of Ghana was using, what volumes were being purchased, or at what unit prices.

The Gold-for-Oil component was even murkier. Civil society heard about certain intermediaries that had been introduced, but none were publicly disclosed. There was no proper reporting on the programme. Nothing concrete on how much was actual direct barter like the name suggested.

We always knew losses were being made through DGPP, but they were never disclosed. It took a change in government before the public got the first official numbers on the losses made in 2024. Then subsequent RTIs and disclosures showed losses prior to 2024.

As someone who has followed the programme closely, I can say that transparency has improved significantly. DGPP losses are now reported publicly in the Bank of Ghana’s financial statements and associated documents, including a breakdown of the losses. We can see the gold purchase prices being advertised, the aggregators and buyers in the chain, and the contracts with aggregators.

I welcome that transparency and will continue to push for more.

GoldBod should publish how much gold each of its aggregators purchases every month and the weighted average price at which they purchase it. We should be able to analyse any spread between GoldBod’s advertised prices and the prices at which aggregators actually buy.

The public should also know who the foreign buyers are and the unit prices at which the gold is being sold.

Information disclosure is how we determine whether the state is getting value for money, and to make sure inefficiencies that show up as losses on the state’s books are not ending up as profits on someone else’s.

GoldBod has made significant progress on transparency compared with what it inherited. There is still a lot more to be done!

Call for Immediate FDA Attention on Fish Handling in Tema Newtown

To the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA),

We are writing to respectfully call for your immediate attention to the way fish is being handled and sold in Tema Newtown. There are growing concerns about hygiene and food safety practices during the handling, storage, and sale of fish, which may pose health risks to consumers.

We kindly urge the FDA to conduct inspections and ensure that all fish vendors comply with the required food safety and sanitation standards. Proper handling, storage, and transportation of fish are essential to protecting public health and maintaining consumer confidence.

Your prompt intervention will help safeguard the health of the community and promote better food safety practices in the area.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

This type of penalty must be kicked out of the game. Madueke got same against Modric. Just when you are about to kick the ball, the opponent sneaks in from behind to put their feet or body between you and the ball for contact. How is it a penalty when there is no intent to foul?

Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists

The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?

Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law

Ramadan Day 11🌙

May Allah put us in rooms with the best opportunities for us, guide us to use what we have to help others, push us into places that we can’t get to on our own, grant us the grace to use our positions to bring others along, and give relief to our hardships🤲🏾

@Citi973 @benkoku …for both parties (and others already admitted) while “4th estate of the realm” speak big English and schmooze with the “big men”.

If you want empathy, go onto the streets and fight for it. It lies in the missing infrastructure and conditions of service.

[Kofi Davids MD @kofidavids]

@Citi973 @benkoku Do one of your top-tier economic analyses of “the life of an empathetic medical professional & his/her family”.

The medical profession does not buy beds or medical logistics/equipment

Or you want our “empathy” to admit people into and work in unsafe situations…
