I saw the TnA stadium on my last visit to Tarkwa and I was told it was build by Goldfields at $15 million.Lets stop giving a dog a bad name in other to hang it.Tell your government to render an account on the all the royalties and taxes he took from the mine for the past thirty years and how much was spent on the development of Tarkwa and it's environs.

You wouldn't be talking like this if you knew the condition of that mine when it was state owned until it became what it is currently. If you care to know, it was ran down by the same Ghanaians.

These young Ghanaians obviously don't know the history of the country.

All goldmines used to be managed by the State Gold Mining Corporation (SGMC), the most corrupt government agency Ghana has ever had.

Under the SGMC none of the goldmines from Konongo through Obuasi to Tarkwa ever made any profits and many times couldn't even pay their workers.

Is this an era we want to revisit as a country? HELL NO!

Government MUST not own any mines in Ghana.

Ghana does not a single company with experience in operating a mine. It has several companies with experience in mining contracting. They are two very different skills. We need to learn to walk before we run. For 60 years we cannot even build a duel carriage road from Accra to Kumasi so let’s stop all the noise and learn how to do things well before we create another mess.

All mining rights where expired must be taken over by government as these foreign companies exploit Ghanaians without developing the resource fringed communities

I noticed that the NEIP CEO is advocating for a change at the Tarkwa mine. Given Gold Fields' impressive achievements, like having exceeded host-community employment targets by over 70%, how do you think those contributions might play into future discussions about local mining operations?

The discussions around the Tarkwa mine ownership caught my attention. I think it’s important to recognize that Gold Fields has invested significantly in local communities, with nearly $110 million through the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation. Let's talk about the company and not mixed it with the country of origin.
