"Gold mafia" what are they hiding? - Ahiagbah blasts Majority over 'rushed passage' of GoldBod bill

In a recent statement, Ahiagbah criticized the majority party for hastily passing the Gold Bill, which he believes lacks thorough scrutiny and transparency. He expressed concerns that this rushed legislation could potentially facilitate corruption and undermine accountability in the gold sector. Ahiagbah emphasized the need for comprehensive discussions to ensure that all stakeholders are considered before implementing such significant changes.

Furthermore, he highlighted the importance of addressing issues related to illegal gold mining and smuggling, which have plagued the industry. By pushing through the Gold Bill without adequate debate, Ahiagbah warned that lawmakers might be overlooking critical aspects that could lead to further exploitation of Ghana's natural resources. He called for a more deliberate approach to policymaking in order to safeguard the country's interests and promote sustainable practices within the gold industry.
