The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Development Company Limited and a Professor at the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS), Professor Kobby Mensah, has fired the minority in Parliament following their recent press conference.
According to Professor Kobby Mensah, the NPP minority in parliament is just a talk-talk party.
He questioned the NPP minority about which of their old economic ideas which reduced the dollar to the cedi and the cost of fuel.
In a post on X, Professor Mensah wrote, “Which of your “old” ideas reduced the pound sterling from 23 cedis to 14? Dollar from 16 to 11 cedis; Or reduced fuel ⛽️ from 20/litre to 10.37 🤷♀️ Talk Talk Party
His comments follow the minority who labelled the John Mahama-led government as just rebranding and copying”.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah noted that the Mahama government, after one year have shown they came to office without any ideas.
According to the Ofoase-Ayirebi MP, the NDC’s promised reset agenda was nothing more than rebranding projects and initiatives.
Addressing journalists on Monday, December 29, 2025, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated, “Fellow Ghanaians, let us be brutally honest; this government has shown, in its very first full year, that it came with no ideas and has governed with no new ideas.
“Ghanaians have found out that the promise to reset Ghana was nothing more than rebranding projects and initiatives that were already in place by the NPP government. But rebranding without the requisite competence can be disastrous,” he noted.
“When the IMF is no longer here after mid-2026, and they have finished copying from the NPP, who will they copy from? Who will shepherd them then?,” he quizzed.
The Minority in Parliament, in that same press confernce demanded a bipartisan parliamentary probe into BoG-GoldBod $214m loss.
It must be noted that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised concerns over the reported losses of Goldbod.
The IMF described them as a potential risk to Ghana’s macroeconomic stability.
They further attributed the losses to transactions involving artisanal and small-scale mining, dore gold and referenced alleged “GoldBod off-taker fees.”
According to Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, they in the minority believes state money is being used to buy galamsey gold.
Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, December 29, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah called for a bipartisan investigation into the operation of Goldbod.
He stated that a parliamentary ad-hoc committee should conduct a bipartisan investigation into all contracts, licenses, intermediaries, and related entities of the Goldbod.
He further noted that Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million under the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Gold Board and urged the committee to call on the two institutions to disclose their fee structures, pricing formulas, aggregator selection criteria, and foreign exchange arrangements.
Speaking to journalists in Accra, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated, “We are demanding the following: a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances under which the Republic of Ghana has lost $214 million, heading to $300million, to be done here by the parliament of Ghana. We are asking for a parliamentary ad hoc investigative committee with the power to subpoena all contracts, licences, intermediaries, including this power rock monopoly.
“Under this bipartisan enquiry, we will be expecting the BoG and the GoldBod to publish the fee structure, the pricing formula, the aggregator selecting criteria and all foreign exchange arrangements that they have tied to this scheme, which has led to this loss.
“…One of the things we will be asking for is the suspension of permits in forest reserves and the introduction of serious measures on traceability because, as at now, we have every reason to believe that state money is being used to buy Galamsey gold…Where negligence or corruption is proven, prosecutions must follow, and all recoverable funds must be given back to the state,” Nkrumah stated.
