The Ghana Gold board (GoldBod) has clarified allegations being made against them by some individuals on various social media platforms.
In a statement released by GoldBod, it explained that, the mischievous claims that the GoldBod has awarded an GHS11 million office renovation contract to a company owned by Mr. Stan Dogbe through “sole sourcing” is completely false.
According to Goldbod, three entities were shortlisted in the tendering process for the said contract, with Correct Ghana limited winning the bid for the said contract, adding that such fake news reflects desperation to smear the GoldBod.
”Correca Ghana Limited was qualified to undertake the works and has actually
undertaken and completed the works in a timely and professional manner in
accordance with its contractual obligations.
”In the spirit of transparency and accountability, and in accordance with Section 42(1)(c) of the Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (ACT 1140), the contract for this project was published by the Corporate Affairs Directorate of the GoldBod on its
official website on 10th March, 2026,” the statement disclosed.
The Board further responded to another false claim which stated that, the “GoldBod has procured fifteen (15) laptops at an inflated price of GHS322,500”.
The board also revealed that, in November 2025, the GoldBod procured 15 laptops from Messrs GET4LESS Ghana Limited as part of its procurement of laptop computers and accessories for
newly-appointed Directors and Deputy Directors of the newly-established Ghana old Board.
”The fifteen (15) laptops were purchased at a total price of GHS322,500,
translating into a unit price of GHS21,500.
”This price perfectly aligns with the specification of the procured laptop – Lenovo, ThinkPad T14S laptop Core i7 1355U 16GB RAM 512GB SSD 14.0 Inch FHD,”
GoldBod emphasized that,
Messrs GET4LESS Ghana Limited was selected to supply the said laptops and
accessories because it was the only company that was found to have the capacity to meet the required quantity and delivery timelines.
The board disclosed that a simple check from the website of the supplier shows that the open market price of the said laptop is GHS21,505; Therefore, the claim that the laptops were procured at an inflated price is
completely false.
The Ghana Gold Board affirmed their commitment to hold dear the principles of transparency and
accountability and will continue to uphold these tenets by publishing all contracts
it enters into.
GoldBod further entreated the general public to remain vigilant and reject all attempts by desperate circulators of fake news to find wrongdoing where there is none.
