We won’t back down over $1.7bn DGPP loss — NPP

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has vowed to continue demanding answers over the US$1.7 billion loss reported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in connection with Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP).

The party says it will not back down until the circumstances surrounding the reported loss are fully explained and subjected to public scrutiny.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, NPP National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye urged the Minority in Parliament to intensify efforts to uncover details of the transactions linked to the programme.

“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.

Nana Boakye called on the Minority Leader and members of the NPP parliamentary caucus to use every available parliamentary procedure to demand answers from the government and relevant institutions.

“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.”

He also urged the Minority to pursue the matter beyond Parliament and ensure that Ghanaians receive full accountability.

“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 said.

The NPP’s renewed demand follows the IMF’s reported assessment of a US$1.7 billion loss linked to the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.

The development has sparked calls for greater scrutiny of the programme, particularly over the management of the transactions and their impact on public finances.

The NPP said it would continue pursuing the matter through Parliament and other appropriate channels until all concerns surrounding the reported loss are adequately addressed.
