\n

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has revealed that it has reduced the scale of certain facilities in its controversial new head office, currently under construction.<\/p>\n

The BoG faced significant criticism over the construction of the new headquarters, with the Minority in Parliament demanding the removal or resignation of Governor Dr. Ernest Addison.<\/p>\n

Speaking before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament, Dr. Addison, disclosed that the organization has taken steps to downsize the new project.<\/p>\n

He specifically mentioned the removal of the auditorium from the plans for the new headquarters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to understand the project cycle, by the time you end up paying for a project, the project might have travelled quite a distance. Yes,\u2026activities started much earlier than that, and a lot of it has been downsized.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the facilities would have included an auditorium but that is not going to happen. There has been an attempt to address the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Addison confirmed that payments for construction, including the new head office for the Central Bank, have been processed.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though the money was paid in 2022, [contract payments], the activities had long started as far back as 2020. It takes a while, for some of these things to become due for payments.\u201d<\/p>\n
