The Anlo Dukor Council has welcomed Dr Johnson Asiama’s appointment as Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), commending President John Mahama’s commitment to upholding competence and experience in key national appointments.
Dr Asiama’s appointment as the new BoG Governor, pending approval by the Council of State, has faced some opposition from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority in Parliament over charges against his involvement in the collapse of Unibank and UT Bank, charges the office of the Attorney-General recently withdrew.
A press release signed by Togbi Agbesi Awusu II, the Awadada of Anlo, on behalf of Togbi Sri III, the Awoamefia of Anlo, said the appointment and exoneration of Dr Asiama were in place as it saw the attacks and allegations that had trailed him over the years as “politically motivated and baseless.
“Dr Asiama’s track record as a seasoned Economist and Central banking expert makes him the ideal choice to lead the BoG at this crucial moment. His wealth of experience, particularly in monetary policy formulation and financial sector stability is a valuable asset that will guide Ghana’s economic recovery and ensure a resilient financial system…”
