Bank of Ghana declined to disclose the full cost of its new head office building to MP Mahama Ayariga, citing procedural protocols, sparking transparency concerns.

Bank of Ghana (BoG) declined to reveal the full cost of its new head office building to Bawku Central MP, Mahama Ayariga, citing procedural protocols that require such information to be accessed through the Public Procurement Authority (PPA). Ayariga, a proponent of transparency in government projects, expressed dissatisfaction with the BoG's response, arguing that as a public institution, BoG has an obligation to provide clear and detailed information about the expenditure on the new head office project. This refusal to disclose the full cost may escalate the debate about the transparency and accountability of public institutions in Ghana.
