The
Minority
in
Parliament
has
said
it
will
embark
on
another
protest
against
the
Governor
of
the
Bank
of
Ghana,
Dr
Ernest
Addison,
on
July
30,
2014,
for
allegedly
engaging
in
wasteful
spending
on
the
new
Head
Office
building.
Speaking
to
journalists
in
Parliament,
Member
of
Parliament
for
Bawku
Central,
Mahama
Ayariga
said
the
Governor
has
refused
to
answer
questions
on
the
latest
cost
of
the
building.
“Today
the
office
is
being
constructed
at
%250
million
dollars’’
he
alleged.
He
added
that
a
piece
of
land
that
used
to
host
the
bank’s
clinic
has
been
re-assigned
to
the
Governor
and
he
has
refused
to
give
details.
“The
central
bank
should
be
held
accountable,”
Mr
Ayariga
stated.
He
said
they
have
written
to
the
Police,
and
he
will
meet
the
Police
in
the
afternoon.
In
October
2023,
the
Minority
embarked
on
a
street
protest
demanding
the
resignation
of
the
Governor
of
the
Bank
of
Ghana
and
his
deputies.
They
accused
the
Governor
of
spearheading
the
losses
incurred
by
the
BoG
in
2022
and
2023.
The
Minority
also
kicked
against
the
construction
of
a
new
headquarters
for
the
central
bank.
That
demand
was
not
granted,
thus
Mahama
Ayariga
stressed
that
the
group
will
embark
on
another
protest
on
July
30.
He
maintained
that
the
Governor;
his
deputies
and
the
Board
have
run
down
the
central
bank
and
must
resign.
