Citizen Eye Ghana calls for accountability and probes into former officials
Alex Tetteh, President of Citizen Eye Ghana, addressed national issues including alleged corruption under the previous Akufo-Addo administration, Operation Recover All Loot, and the Ghana Gold Board's performance. Tetteh called for thorough, non-partisan investigations into past misconduct, specifically highlighting alleged systemic issues during the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia era where individuals reportedly amassed wealth in public office. He emphasized that politics should not be a "get-rich scheme" and urged punishment for those who allegedly looted state resources, regardless of political affiliation. Tetteh also defended the Ghana Gold Board and its leadership under CEO Sammy Gyamfi, contrasting its current approach with practices under the previous government, where he claimed middlemen profited from gold sales while Ghana incurred losses. He asserted that the Gold Board has contributed to strengthening the cedi and boosting forex reserves. Tetteh called for Parliament to investigate why the Bank of Ghana under the Akufo-Addo government allegedly hid losses from the domestic gold purchase program. He reiterated themes of institutional accountability and urged all sides to prioritize punishing looters, supporting effective institutions, and ensuring politics serves the people.
