The Honourbale Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency has raised concerns over some $20million cash that has been cleared by officials of the Bank of Ghana.
In a post he made on his facebook page in the early hours of Tuesday, 27th August, the law maker said he and his foreign partners were closely monitoring the movement of the cash which the Bank of Ghana claimed was ordered by the Central Bank of Liberia.
According to him, the Bank of Ghana must offer some explanations why supporting documents covering the said transaction are not consistent with the content of a letter purported to have been written by the Bank on the 21st of August 2024, to Custom officials at the Kototoka International Airport seeking to clear the foreign cash.

“I am keenly tracking the movement of some US$20 million cash which arrived in Ghana via KIA this afternoon.
The cash has since been cleared by officials of the Bank of Ghana.
The Bank of Ghana must offer explanations on why supporting documents are not consistent with the content of its August 21, 2024 letter to custom and airport officials seeking to clear the uncirculated banknotes.
Even though the Bank of Ghana claims the money was ordered by the central bank of Liberia and that the cash will be re-exported to Monrovia whenever there is an available flight, other intercepted documents including an airway bill indicate emphatically that the consignee is the Bank of Ghana and not the central bank of Liberia.
My international partners and I will keep tracking this US$20million cash from London to confirm if indeed the fresh banknotes will be transferred to Liberia, when the transfer will be carried out and if the full amount will be transferred.“
“For God and Country”.
