The Volta Development Forum (VDF), a pro-development group based in the Volta region, has applauded Dr Johnson Asiamah’s appointment as the Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) pending formalities.
The Group commended President John Dramani Mahama’s commitment to upholding competence and experience in key national appointments including Dr Asiamah, as he is expected to embark on his mandate to steer the BoG towards economic stability and growth”
Mr Daniel Agboka-Dzegede, the Executive Director of VDF, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency on Monday, said Dr Asiamah’s appointment was a perfect fit for resetting the BoG and the economy for prosperity and socio-economic development.
He eulogised Dr Asiamah’s track record as a seasoned economist and central banking expert making him the ideal choice to lead the BoG at this crucial moment saying “His wealth of experience, particularly in monetary policy formulation and financial sector stability is an asset that will guide Ghana’s economic recovery and ensure a resilient financial system”.
He said the VDF fully supported the candidature of Dr Asiamah, believing he would work to restore confidence in the financial system, promote sound monetary policies and ensure the overall economic wellbeing of the nation.
“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to President Mahama for recognising and reaffirming Dr Asiamah’s expertise and leadership capabilities and was confident that under his stewardship, the Bank will regain its strength and fulfill its mandate to the people of Ghana,” he said.
Mr Agboka-Dzegede claimed that the allegations levelled against Dr Asiamah were politically schemed to malign his persona, based on suspicion that the nominee would contest the leadership position of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He said VDF was elated that the Attorney-General had discontinued charges against a humble and hardworking son of the region.
