Gyamfi stressed that the task force is expected to operate with professionalism and patriotism, and that any member found to be engaging in corrupt practices or misconduct will face severe consequences. “We will protect those of you committed to doing your job, but we will deal ruthlessly with any member who brings the name of the government or the nation into disrepute,” he warned.
The GoldBod CEO highlighted the organization’s commitment to transparency, revealing that a new digital licensing system has been introduced to eliminate bribery, extortion, and bottlenecks in the application process. “We’ve introduced a seamless, digital licensing system… The process is online, straightforward, and corruption-free,” he said.

The GoldBod CEO concluded by calling on all Ghanaians to support the initiative, noting that the success of the task force depends on a collective national effort to sanitize the gold industry.
