Anytime a Ghanaian individual or consortium is awarded a property sales we same people cry wolf.
This time leave the President out.

Franklin Cudjoe, go to your paymasters and look for money to come and buy the mine. I hope that you can run a company. All these lose talk doesn't contribute positively to the development of the country. Just keep quiet and raise money locally to buy the mine, that's all!!

If you do your background checks, you will find out that these Chinese would be fronting for the Aykem Mafia.
The order of the day is state capture.

These same people were against agyapa which would have been a good vehicle to gather the required financing for such project.

This was an open bid unfortunately no Ghanaian consortium could raise such amount.

Concerns about Ghana's Mineral Resources Management"

I am worried about Ghana's approach to managing its mineral resources, particularly gold. Three key issues require urgent attention:

1.⁠ ⁠Lack of transparency: Why is the government not seizing opportunities to secure Ghana's interests?

2. ⁠Foreign dominance: Why are Chinese companies largely controlling Ghana's gold mines?

3. ⁠Limited public participation: Why can't the government float shares for public investment in these lucrative mines?
It's crucial for Ghana to reassess its strategies to ensure:
•⁠ ⁠Maximum benefits for citizens
•⁠ ⁠Increased transparency
•⁠ ⁠Local ownership and control

What happened at FGR Prestea Bogoso shows how reckless some Ghanaians can be.Oweridu YB Amponsah Jojo Allen connived with a British investor to bring misery upon workers suppliers community etc Flouting the laws of Ghana with impunity.
We should be circumspect when sometimes advocating for Ghanaians who cannot run mines.
Why are the underground resources of Prestea not being mined ? massive sulphide ore reserves that need those with mining and processing experience to tap.

Blantant disrespect to the laws inhumane treatment of employees by the same Ghanaians.Newmont I'd right to sell to Chinese .Is Bibiani a success story?
How can people be kidnapped and hijacked from a mine by soldiers and cops by fellow Ghanaians on the pretext of running a mine.

1. What is controversial about the sale?
2. Which Ghanaian companies or individuals bid to purchase the mine?

Anyway, if Newmont had sold the mine to a Ghanaian entity the same Franklin Cudjoe and his friends would be yelling "state capture" and accusing Akuffo Addo of selling a valuable national asset to his cronies?

If you give a billion dollar mine to Ghanaians to manage, they will partner with politicians, award all supply contracts to themselves, bleed the company dry and close down. Look at Asante Mines. They owe millions of dollars to suppliers, they don’t have money investment and there is no hope. We are a bunch of jokers because politicians will make sure things never work.

Newmont is not Ghana owned and has the right to sell to the highest bidder. Unfortunately a Chinese Company emerged as the highest bidder and bought it. What is wrong with that? Chinese companies are buying assets and investing all over the world and not in Ghana alone. Is the biggest oil refinery in Ghana not a Chinese company? Can corrupt and inefficient Ghanaians manage Newmont? Shut up Ghanaians for apart from corruption you have nothing good to offer Ghana.

Allowing Ghanaians to own it will reduce the depreciation of the cedi because our Minerals Act does not favour the strengthening of the local currency.
Kudos to Franklin Cudjoe
