Lands and Mines Watch Ghana commends Armah-Kofi Buah for transparent Damang Mine Lease Transition
Lands and Mines Watch Ghana commended Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah for his handling of the Damang Mine lease transition, describing the process as "a clear demonstration of transparency, legality, and responsible resource governance." The group praised Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, for what it termed a "bold, transparent, and reform-driven approach" in managing the lease's impending expiration.
The organisation stated that the Minister's actions reflect a firm commitment to accountability and the protection of Ghana's mineral resources. Lands and Mines Watch Ghana highlighted the activation of the Minerals and Mining (General) Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2176) to guide a competitive bidding process as a significant step toward strengthening due process in the mining sector. The group noted that the issuance of formal notices to interested parties, along with independent technical and financial assessments, enhances the credibility and fairness of the process. Lands and Mines Watch Ghana underscored the broader national benefits of the approach, including safeguarding jobs in host communities, promoting local economic stability, and ensuring value maximisation from Ghana's mineral resources.
The organisation urged the Ministry to sustain the current level of transparency through to the conclusion of the process and ensure that the final outcome reflects the best interests of the Ghanaian people.
