High Gov’t officials have stolen a whopping amount of ¢70bn and kept under their pillows –MP reveals

Bolgatanga Central Member of Parliament Isaac Adongo has alleged that some high government officials have stolen an amount ¢70billion worth of Cash and kept it under their beds.

Addressing a press conference in Parliament on Tuesday, November 8, Mr. Adongo alleged that the Governor of the Bank of Ghana Dr. Ernest Addison unlawfully paid money to the government coffers without passing through a legal process.

Owing to that, he wants the Governor axed from his position.

“Ask yourself why the same taxes that we imposed on petroleum products two years ago to deliver a liter of 4. 50 pesewas.

“So essentially, now the problem is not even about the taxes, it is about the exchange rate. Who is supposed to manage the exchange rate? It is the Governor of the central bank Dr Addison.” he said

“Another big problem we have now is inflation. The Bank of Ghana manages the inflationary target framework whiles the Ghana Statistical service reports actually but the man who is in charge of managing our inflation targeting framework and ensuring that inflation expectations are anchored is the Governor of the Central Bank.

“The inflationary targeting framework within the confines of the Bank of Ghana provided very strict rules on what we call fiscal governance over monetary policy, in other words, there are strict rules on the government of Ghana can borrow from the Bank of Ghana.

“Those restricted rules are quite clearly stated that the BoG at any point in time should not have lent more than five percent of the previous revenue cumulatively. If you consider last year‘s revenue then the government cannot even borrow five million Cedis from the BoG.” he stressed

“But by the end of the year 2021, Dr. Addison has illegally lent to the government ¢35billion, and by May this year, he had added an additional ¢22billion when the Minister came at Mid-year review. As we speak today, Dr. Addison has been financing the government and paying maturing debt obligations in the domestic market that the government cannot find, we are currently looking at something in excess of 7 billion of illegal borrowing by the Government of Ghana from the BoG.

“If you have a corrupt government such as Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia and you pump 70billion into the economy that does not belong to the economy, they steal them and they put them in their rooms under their beds.

“Under the current circumstance, the best storage of money is Dollars and not Cedis. So Dr Addison’s 70 billion are now in the homes and beds of government functionaries, which is what is chasing the Dollar.

“How can Dr. Addison still be the Governor of the Central bank? I call on Dr. Addison as a matter of urgency, to exit BoG and give Ghana a chance to clear the mess. Today, I have instructed my lawyers to serve him notice and to remind him again of a letter I served him, that if by the end of the third meeting of the second sitting of the 8th Parliament, he has not complied with his obligation to parliament for us to exercise our oversight role, I will sue him and I will proceed to court.” he added
