You leveraged 5% of bauxite for $20 billion? This means the value of 5% bauxite could be more than the leveraged amount. What are the other social and environmental costs associated with the joint venture? Please tell us.
Yes, 5% of refined would come to the range of 20bn (taking 480bn). Social and Environmental issues may come be an issue...but, we can't eat our cake and have it. Perhaps, we can raise those issues and find the best way to red ...

pls avoid this major MISTAKE
All worked out. Reference your manual
BUT WE MUST STRIVE TO DO THE REFINING OF BAUXITE OURSELVES SOON TO ADD VALUE TO THE PRODUCT AND EARN MORE MONEY FOR OUR DEVELOPMENT.
This is fantastic news and move, u are so far the most brilliant vice president ever of Ghana,
Wow Wow! Ghana now on the move for our economic development which would intend stop people fleeing to Europe for work.
Dr. Bawumia, I salute you. This is a brilliant idea...and I pray it works as planned. This will be a huge transformation and Ghana will stand out as being led by leaders with brains.
Let's all support this initiative. While ...

YOU ARE NOT EVEN AMONG DECISION MAKERS IN NPP. OSAFO MARFO THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS THE FINAL SAY. THE MONEY WILL BE DIVERTED SOON FOR SOMETHING ELSE. JUST WATCH OUT
Look Mister, this is a clear case of a 419 deal served sophisticatedly for feeble minds to buy into it, period. If we do have a 480bn worth of bauxite in its raw form, then why don't we process it, add value to it and make mo ...

(Proceed) should read (proceeds)
This is a bad loan period . it is not joint venture. The proceeds from the exploitation of the bauxite will be used to pay off the loan. Bawumia be a little fair to Ghanaians and stop ur lies
Exactly! Yet, their fool-soldiers are frantically jubilating like wild chickens without heads all over the place as if Ghana hasn't been repeating the same thing and expecting a different result since Kwame Nkrumah left the b ...

GO AHEAD BAWUMIA. NDC CRIMINALS DOESN'T WANT WANT THIS COUNTRY TO MOVE FORWARD,PLEASE DO WHAT WILL BENEFIT US IN FUTURE,THAT IS WHY WE KICKED THEM OUT FOR COMPETENT PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO COME AND HELP MOTHER GHANA.
Is Bawumia and his NPP serious? With all what he has outlined, what is the difference between these and what Pres. Mahama were doing? This guy lacks common sense. Ghanaians will continue to suffer in hand these two stupid par ...

AH! BUT THESE ARE WHAT MAHAMA WAS EMBARKING. NO DIFFERENCE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE IMPENDING EXPLOITATION BY THE CHINESE AND FORMAL APPROVAL FOR GALAMSEY.
question is, will the 25,000 houses be rented to the security? and i thought they said there is a lot of money in Ghana so no borrowing....hmmm
Why should the government build houses for security men? Sink all the money into job creation. That's a priority, Mr. Big shot.
Encouraging strategy on paper. Now it's time to implement it honestly and efficiently. Also don't fail to sevetely punish any misdemeanour by those who will be entrusted with its execution. Long live Ghana.
Is Sir "Allan Cash" still at post as Trade & whatnot minister? I once heard him talking if not plagiarising Nkrumah's integrated aluminum industry idea. Was he part of Bawumia's fake team of negotiators? Time will tell.
Dr idiot is still lying
why forgot the energy sector we need more power for alluminium factory and for other domestic consumption Mr Bawumia. Tell us the truth.
Barter is back in full swing and you cannot call it Joint venture.
China took $19bn bauxite and in exchange provided some facilities for Ghana. Barter!
Yes, they are taking off 5% of our bauxite at the cost of some $20bn and they would decide how to extract it, process it in China and finally add value to benefit them not Oman-Ghana. It's that straightforward. It's like buyi ...

I find this difficult to believe. Present the entire documentation for parliamentary scrutiny. I don't trust the Chinese,bam.
Pay security well, they rent own places
security rent places is security allover the place and community.
Economists are in charge and can only be better than the so called communication experts NDC
Asiedu nketia, anyidaho and the other vehicles thief Kofi Adams learn from the creative minds
We need people who will think differently to transform Ghana and i see a lot of that in Bawumia. Let's allow him to bring some different thinking on board.
Oh China is giving us $19billion AID eh! China must have no challenges of its own at all.
watch bawumia well and his body language when he is telling lies,u will realize he is such a chronic lair to the bone
You give bauxite for money and use the same money to buy building materials from China to build 25,000 units of houses.
The same bauxite is the best material (when refined) used for building.
Is this stupidity or recklessne ...
