MIIF has taken note of recent media
reports alleging financial irregularities within the Fund. These reports have
mostly centered on the tenure of the immediate past Chief Executive
Officer.
MIIF wishes to clarify that subsequent to the
recent transition, the Fund's financial statements are
currently undergoing a comprehensive audit in accordance
with established procedures and corporate governance
practices. Ghanaians will be fully apprised on the
outcome of this audit.
Management of the Fund will take all necessary
steps to address any irregularities that may be identified during the audit in
full compliance with laid down principles and the laws of Ghana.
Our mandate is to maximize the value of
mineral revenues for the benefit of present and future generations of
Ghanaians. The general public should therefore rest assured that the Fund will
take all necessary steps to protect Ghana's mineral wealth and ensure the
prudent management of all proceeds.
Transparency and accountability are core
principles that underpin all operations of MIIF. The Fund is
fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and fostering
trust with the people of Ghana and our internal and external stakeholders.
