                           Mrs. Hannah Owusu Koranteng

Mrs. Hannah Owusu Koranteng, an Associate Executive Director of WACAM has noted, The invasion of some large-scale mining companies’ concessions in Ghana by illegal miners is a reflection and spread out effect of the state’s failure to judiciously manage mineral resources to the benefit of all.

She said the increasing incursions are the indications of a system breakdown in the entire mining industry once the state has increasingly protecting their interest.

She stated that when we have organized corporate bodies and multinational companies who come into the country to mismanage mineral resources to the disadvantage of local people and regulators look on, then anybody who wants to do something wrong to enjoy the fruits of the industry will be encouraged to do so.

Some mining companies have come under attack in recent times, as illegal miners continue to invade their concessions. Companies such as Mines at Konongo, AgloGold Ashanti Obuasi, Owere and Perseus Mining at Ayanfuri have been victims of the growing rebellion by illegal miners.

Mrs. Koranteng in an interview to media at Sunyani on the sidelines of a sensitisation workshop for media practitioners and residents of mining host communities from the Brong Ahafo and Eastern Regions on responsible mining said it has become essential for the state to demonstrate political will to legalize mining for the admiration all.
