Mining
·         I am part of the new Board of Prestea Sankofa Gold Ltd, and we are working to revive the company. PSGL owed VRA, so they were disconnected. We have resolved that problem, and by the time the ban on Small Scale Mining will be lifted, PSGL will start operations.

Galamsey
I am pleading with my people that the steps taken by government is for our own future. For today, you wont feel the effect of destroying the land but it will be bad if we don’t take any measures.

Government is going to register you into groups. Government will look for land for you, and you will do what we call “community mining”. The ban will soon be lifted and licensed miners as well as community miners will be supervised to work.

The MCE, Hon. Mozart K. Owuh also elaborated projects her assembly has also done.

Supreme Court Nails Woyome

The Supreme Court has dismissed an attempt by businessman, Mr Alfred Agbesi Woyome, to have the ongoing legal proceedings in relation to his GH¢47.2 million debt owed the state moved to the High Court. In a ruling yesterday, the apex court, presided over by a sole justice, Mr Justice Anthony A. Benin, held that it had the power to enforce its judgement and, therefore, surrendering its jurisdiction to the High Court would be unconstitutional. The current legal battle is that the defunct UT Bank, through its receivers, is claiming ownership of two residential properties that the Attorney-General (A-G) says belong to Mr Woyome and, therefore, wants to sell to offset the debt.

It is important to note, these people have encouraged illegal mining for centuries, but our community is still in tatters. What they think about is THEIR STOMACH. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF PRESTEA HUNI-VALLEY. They do not care about increased health hazards associated with illegal mining. They don’t care about school drop outs due to galamsey. They do not care about incr...
