NPP Organiser Demands Answers Over Reported US$1.7bn DGPP Loss

NPP National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye has called on the Minority in Parliament to intensify efforts to uncover the circumstances surrounding the reported US$1.7 billion loss linked to Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP).

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, Nana Boakye said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would not back down from its demand for accountability until all questions surrounding the reported loss are fully answered and subjected to public scrutiny.

“We are not backing off. Not now, not tomorrow, not until every question is answered in full, and in public, and under proper scrutiny,” he said.

He urged the Minority Leader and members of the NPP parliamentary caucus to make use of every available parliamentary procedure to demand explanations from the government and relevant institutions involved in the programme.

According to him, Parliament must deploy all appropriate mechanisms, including parliamentary questions, committee hearings, requests for documents, order papers and points of order, to establish what happened.

“Use every relevant law in the books, every question on the floor of Parliament, every committee hearing, every request for documents, every order paper, every point of order,” Nana Boakye said.

He also urged the Minority to continue pursuing the matter in the public domain to ensure that Ghanaians receive detailed explanations about the reported loss.

“Fight for the people of Ghana in the court of public opinion as well. Fight until the Ghanaian people receive all the answers they deserve—in writing, under oath if necessary,” he added.

The NPP’s position follows the reported assessment by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) of a US$1.7 billion loss associated with the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.

The party says the reported loss raises concerns about the management of transactions under the programme and its implications for public finances.

Nana Boakye maintained that the NPP would continue using Parliament and other appropriate channels to pursue answers on the matter.
