The Bawku Central MP, Mahama Ayariga, has written to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to inquire of the status of requested investigation into the new Bank of Ghana (BoG) building complex.

Previously, Mr Ayariga had alleged corruption involving the Bank's Governor, Deputy Governors, the Board of Directors, and the project contractor, Goldkey Properties Ltd.

He also raised concerns about the significant increase in the project cost from USD$121,807,517.94 to USD$222,799,760.55, despite a relatively small increase in the scope of work.

In his petition of October 2023, Ayariga emphasised the OSP's authority to investigate the suspected corruption cases, urging transparency in public funds utilisation.

In a subsequent letter to the OSP on Monday, March 11, Ayariga requested an update on the matter.

"This is to follow up on your investigation of the complaint of suspected procurement breaches relating to the new headquarters building of the Bank of Ghana at Ridge, Accra."

"You will recall that in October 2023, I made a formal complaint to your office and requested you to investigate what I believed to be a case of corruption in the procurement of the new headquarters building of the Bank of Ghana at Ridge in Accra."

"The suspects, in this case, included the governor and the deputy governors of the Bank of Ghana, namely; Dr Ernest Kwamina Addison (Governor), Maxwell Opoku-Afari (First Deputy Governor), and Elsie Addo Awadzi (Second Deputy Governor)," excerpts of the statement said.
