The Deloitte Audit Report on the Development Bank of Ghana (DBG) has been forwarded to the Attorney General for the necessary legal steps, with Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson warning that individuals whose actions weakened the institution will be held accountable.
Dr Forson gave the assurance after a meeting earlier today with key development partners — the World Bank, the African Development Bank (AfDB), Germany’s KfW, and the European Investment Bank (EIB).
The discussions focused on the audit findings and the future of DBG.
The finance minister stressed that accountability is non-negotiable, adding that the Bank is finalising its Corporate and Action Plans to build a stronger and more sustainable institution.
He noted that President John Mahama remains resolute in ensuring DBG fulfils its mandate of supporting Ghana’s transformation agenda.
By Monday, a competitively selected Chief Executive Officer will be appointed, and by the end of October, a new Board will be constituted.
DBG’s Interim Board Chair, Albert Essien, reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and prudent governance. The development partners welcomed the reforms and pledged their support.
