Minerals Commission Hosts Central Bank of Kenya Delegation on Study Visit
Accra, March 27, 2026 – The Minerals Commission of Ghana welcomed a nine-member delegation from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), led by Mr. David Luusa, Director of Financial Markets, to its head office in Accra for a study visit focused on Ghana’s minerals regulatory framework and its support for the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP).
Facilitated through the Bank of Ghana’s Gold Management Office, the visit was initiated at the request of the CBK to gain deeper insight into the operational structures, regulatory mechanisms, and institutional collaboration underpinning Ghana’s gold purchase and management system.
During the engagement, Madam Victoria Awuni, Deputy Chief Executive Officer in charge of Policy Planning, Mineral Titles, and Local Content, led discussions on the Commission’s mandate, licensing procedures, monitoring and compliance systems, and its partnership with the Bank of Ghana in strengthening the DGPP. The dialogue also highlighted reforms aimed at promoting responsible mining, enhancing transparency, and maximizing the mineral sector’s contribution to national development.
The CBK’s visit underscores growing regional recognition of Ghana’s innovative gold management framework, which has contributed to improved foreign reserve stability and greater formalization within the artisanal and small-scale mining value chain.
The Commission reaffirmed its commitment to advancing cooperation with regional partners and expressed readiness to support Kenya’s efforts to enhance its minerals governance and gold reserves strategy.
