    The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has publicly supported the Minority in Parliament's demand for a comprehensive investigation into GHS 22 billion in losses. These losses are connected to Ghana's gold trading activities. NPP Deputy General Secretary Haruna Mohammed stated that available reports suggest GoldBod is the source of these significant costs. This stance comes despite GoldBod's assertion that an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report did not directly attribute the losses to its operations.
