According to the Honourable Member, the cash has since been cleared by officials of the Bank of Ghana.
He demanded that 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.
The honourable member stated that 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 air way bill indicate emphatically that the consignee is the Bank of Ghana and not the central bank of Liberia.
He concluded by stating that his international partners and himself 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.
However, officials of the Bank of Ghana, are yet to respond to some of these claims by the Honourable Member of Parliament.
