The Ghana’s Minister of Finance, Dr. Ato Forson held crucial meetings with key Development Partners in Accra to discuss patient issues relative to country’s economy.
The key institutions are the World Bank, the African Development Bank (AfDB), Germany’s KfW, and the European Investment Bank (EIB) and they together deliberated on the Deloitte Audit Report on the Development Bank Ghana (DBG) and the way forward for this vital institution.
The team is said to be satisfied with Ghana’s position and a clear consensus was reached for decisive action in coming days.
The Finance Minister on Facebook post says, “the Audit Report will be handed over to the Attorney General for the necessary legal steps”.
He stressed that the past is behind, and a new dawn has begun for DBG.
The Bank is finalising its Corporate and Action Plans to build a stronger, more sustainable future.
The Minister also reminded the new management and Board that accountability is non-negotiable and those who contributed to weakening the institution will be held responsible.
He mentioned that President John Mahama remains resolute in ensuring that DBG fulfils its mandate to support Ghana’s transformation agenda.
“By Monday, a competitively selected CEO will be formally appointed, and by the end of October, the process of constituting the new Board will be completed.
DBG’s Interim Board Chair, Albert Essien, reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and prudent governance.
Our partners welcomed these measures”, he added..
