Issah AttahThe Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu, Attah Issah, has defended the costs associated with the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP), insisting that the losses highlighted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were part of the sacrifices required to restore Ghana’s macroeconomic stability. Mr Issah explained that government recognised from the outset that stabilising the economy would come at a cost. Government of Ghana, through the gold purchase programme, believes that those two mandates were met,” he stated. “The position should therefore not be reduced to just a line, Ghana lost money by buying gold, or something like, oh, the domestic gold purchase programme has landed the country into more debt,” he said.
