Second Deputy BoG Governor pushed out

The fate of the Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Johnson Asiama, is uncertain, as his legal advisor says the government is pushing for his exit from the central bank.

Dr Asiama was appointed by President John Dramani Mahama in April 2016, but after serving two years of his four-year contract, he is bowing out in what analysts describe as a ‘difficulty working with the current regime’.

Dr Asiama rose through the ranks after joining the bank in 1996 as Assistant Director until his appointment as Deputy Governor.
