We need to take over Goldfields Tarkwa mining company, it belongs to Ghana, it is ours, it is that simple. We cannot afford to gamble, to renew a lease that is worth over 2 billion US Dollars just like that, when the law is on our side not to renew it. It is a difficult decision for the government, but the government is there to serve the interest of the people, the citizens, and the citizens do not want Tarkwa Goldfields mining lease to be renewed, we want Ghanaian ownership, two or three Ghanaians to take it over. We do not only want Damang mines, we want the lot, no messing about, no playing games, no corruption, we want our country back, true independence.

Komenda Sugar
Zambia in 1969 nationalised copper mines production almost 1 million tonnes No 2 in the world.Early 80s production less than 200000 tonnes.Now private miners back
DRC failed
Zimbabwe failed
SA local ownership mining industry shadow of former self
Shining stars in Africa De Beers Botswana 5
joint venture and Ethiopia Airlines
Local ownership is for political class loot and share In few years tine production will drop and the political class will loot mines and take money elsewhere

What is needed us Hybrid ownership
Local miners with capacity including finance.
Joint Ventures local foreign state
Foreign companies
Competition breeds efficiency and innovation in any sector ab example technology automotive sector in the world
Ghana does not enough finance to withstand commodity cycle shocks if they happen.Bif miners ride price cycles
Welooking for local ownership in mines what about other sectors of economy
Oil and Gas
Agric Agri business
Telecos
Banking.
Manufacturing sectors
Agric Agri business must be starting point instead of importing tomatoes onions rice sugar Cocoa beans processing poultry sector etc
A country that is not food self sufficient us a disaster
History on local ownership of the African continent is not in our favour

Politicians will just deceive us loot and share
All forms of ownership needed in Ghana.

Struggling to produce and pay workers decent salaries.

Storm brewing in mining areas wait for elections in 2028.
Sitting away from mining areas and commenting on things far from reality.Mibe workers worse off in this current government
If you want big community agitations take licence from Goldfields.
Greedy chiefs will be chases away.

Just give them a new contract that will benefit Ghana and if they can’t accept our terms in the interest of the Country then they can leave.

Exactly. It's the terms of business that matters and who have the deep pockets to sustain it. Ghana should be looking for a good return, being Ghanaian does not guarantee that.

Very soon there wouldn't be any foreign investments in the mining sector in Ghana. Ghanaians don't understand internatioal business at all. It's all emotions and ignorance.
