Gold for Oil Saga: Kojo Poku Blasts IMANI’s ‘Frivolous’ Assessment | AM Newspaper

When IMANI Africa released its critical assessment of Ghana’s controversial Gold-for-Oil programme, it stirred quite a hornet’s nest. But Kojo Poku didn’t hold back — he slammed IMANI’s evaluation as “frivolous,” accusing them of misrepresentations and lacking substance. Poku claims the IMANI report fails to engage with key aspects of the policy, ignores recent data, and undermines the innovative potential of the barter scheme. He insists the gold-for-oil model, though novel and bold, is being unfairly maligned under selective scrutiny. At the heart of the clash: questions over transparency, fiscal risks, and institutional accountability. IMANI contends the programme exposes Ghana to significant financial erosion and reputational damage. Meanwhile, Poku argues that critics have ignored meaningful policy gains and the potential long-term benefits of using the country’s gold reserves more strategically. #joynews #myjoyonline #JoyNews https://www.myjoyonline.com/ghana-news/ Subscribe for more videos just like this:    / @myjoyonline   Follow us on: Facebook:   / joy997fm   Twitter:   / joy997fm   Instagram: https://bit.ly/3J2l57
