Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Ernest Addison, and the New Patriotic party (NPP) are looking for another avenue to squander the country funds.
The decision of the management of the Central Bank of Ghana under Dr. Ernest Addison to use $200 million to build a new head office in Accra has been widely opposed by the largest opposition NDC.
Sammy Gyamfi has constantly criticized the Finance Minister, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta and BoG boss Dr. Addison to plunge the country into a serious economic mess.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on Mpu ne Mpu on UTV, Sammy Gyamfi stated that it is clear the Bank of Ghana has lost it priorities.
According to him, he can’t imagine how the BoG boss intends to spend $250m to construct a new headquarters in this critical time of the country when they have already incurred a GHS60.8bn lost in 2022.
He quizzed if the BoG were building a new city or heaven with the reported $250m they have already given out a contract for commence the building project.

Meanwhile, according to Sammy Gyamfi Dr. Ernest Addison, the governor of the Bank of Ghana, and Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta are both imprisoned.
He claims that Mr. Ofori-Atta and Dr. Addison will be held fully accountable by the law for “breaching the Bank of Ghana Act and Public Financial Management Act with such impunity” under the next NDC administration.
He responded by calling BoG’s statement regarding bankruptcy claims made by his party “worthless and useless.”
The Central Bank’s governor and his two deputies have been given a 21-day deadline to resign voluntarily or face being removed for accruing losses of more than GHS 60 billion in 2022 by the Parliament’s Minority Caucus.
Responding to everything on Thursday’s edition on Metro TV Good Morning Ghana, Sammy Gyamfi said the bank refused to respond to the fundamental concerns raised by the NDC.
