    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.

  • Kwame 6 years ago

    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 ...

  • DusTY-FooT-pHiloSophER 6 years ago

    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)

  • ogyam 6 years ago

    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

  • DusTY-FooT-pHiloSophER 6 years ago

    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 ...

  • Ernest 6 years ago

    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 ...

  • BAABA 6 years ago

    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.

  • Roja 6 years ago

    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

  • They Say They Say 6 years ago

    Why should the government build houses for security men? Sink all the money into job creation. That's a priority, Mr. Big shot.

  • Baba Alhaji de Nima 6 years ago

    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.

  • KH 6 years ago

    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

  • sonkrolo 6 years ago

    why forgot the energy sector we need more power for alluminium factory and for other domestic consumption Mr Bawumia. Tell us the truth.

  • Dr Robert K Glah 6 years ago

    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!

  • DusTY-FooT-pHiloSophER 6 years ago

    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 ...

    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.

  • Kaikaic 6 years ago

    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 ...
