I resigned five months ago” – BoG Governor Asiama denies GoldBod Board Membership

Bank of Ghana Governor Dr. Johnson Asiama says he is no longer a member of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) Board.

He told journalists he resigned about five months ago and no longer attends GoldBod board meetings.

Dr. Asiama explained that the Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140) does not require the Governor personally to serve. According to him, the law only requires the Bank of Ghana to be represented either by the Governor or another official not below the rank of director.

His clarification follows demands by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), led by former Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, for his removal over an alleged conflict of interest, because the BoG finances GoldBod’s gold-purchasing operations.
