  Below is the mineral production in 1967:

  Diamond (from the Akyem in the Eastern Region) --- 2,633,527 ct
  Bauxite (from the Western Region) --- 333,458 mt
  Manganese (from the Western Region) --- 596,572 mt
  
  (Source mining policy of Ghana)
  
  
  Value today:
  Gold --- $1400 per oz
  Diamond --- from $1500 to $150,000 per carat (Market price)
  Bauxite --- $150 per mt
  Manganese --- $450 per tonne
  
  Akyem districts make up more than half of the population of the Eastern Region.
  
  Even though today diamond production from Akyem has stopped temporarily Akyem districts must be given their fair share of projects. Discrimination against Akyems districts has been going on for at least the last forty years. A visit to the Akyem districts would indicate the poor state of districts: bad roads, poor infrastructure. The state of the districts is not reflective of the revenue they have contributed over the last 100 years.

  The mining companies never invest in their communities in anyway. They must be impressed upon to undertake projects that will have lasting impacts on the communities and stop these garnishes

  Do all those who claim nothing happened ever visit any of the mining communities to find out whether the stories are true or false?
  
  I will try visit these areas and find out the truth.
