Parliament passes Ghana Gold Board Bill 2025 without Minority 

The bill seeks to regulate the gold industry, enhance transparency and traceability, and boost foreign exchange earnings.

The Gold Board will oversee the purchase, sale, and export of gold, generating revenue to stabilize the cedi.

However, the Minority argued that the bill would promote illegal mining activities locally known as galamsey.

But the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga hailed the bill as a landmark legislation.

“Mr. Speaker, this is a landmark legislation. And those of us who sat through the night to the morning to pass this historic legislation Bill should be proud of ourselves. We have vindicated the trust and confidence Ghanaians reposed in us. Indeed, the 24-hour economy has started in this chamber,” he stated.
