The Minority in Parliament is demanding a national investigation into allegations levelled against President Akufo-Addo in the Al Jazeera’s Gold Mafia documentary.

According to the National Democratic Congress group, the allegations made in the documentary are an affront to the country’s future.

This is according to the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson.

Dr Ato Forson in a Facebook post on Friday, said his caucus will not allow Ghana’s environment to be traded for the benefit of a few.

He thus called for a national probe into the issues raised to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of the allegations made by busted gold smuggler, Alistair Mathias.

“The revelation that $40 million worth of gold is smuggled out of Ghana every month is deeply concerning. Al Jazeera’s recent documentary on Africa’s Gold Smuggling mafia has confirmed that the country is being exploited by collaborators who benefit from illegal gold mining and smuggling.

“The active endorsement of these illegal activities by some in officialdom is an affront to the country’s future, and it is unacceptable to trade our environment for the benefit of a few who profit from these illicit trades.

“It is high time for a national investigation into these matters,” he posted on Facebook.
