IT SOUNDS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE WHOLE PRESIDENT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MINING COMPANIES AT DAVOS.IF YOU ARE IN CHARGE TAKE ACTION AND IMPLEMENT YOUR LAWS RATHER THAN COMPLAIN AND EXPOSE YOURSELF AS A POWERLESS PRESIDENT.

Why is this man not asking Ghanaians to take up the challege.
If Ghanaians are giving the chance to do our own thing,i am sure we shall make it.But any Government since independence try to woe foreigners to come and make our country better for us,but,even if they come their only interest is to milk this Country dry with the help of our leaders.
If a Ghanaian tries to do something in this Country,especially if the one is in the wrong party,Government will put all sort of obstacles in their way that they have to give up, why o why?
Can`t we do it like the Koreans did,relying on our on people,and stop crying for foreigners who don`t give a damn hether Ghana develops or not?

YOU ARE COMPLAINING TO THE WRONG FORUM. IN CAPITALISM, YOU MAKE MONEY FOR YOUR SHAREHOLDERS AND THOSE MINING COMPANIES WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS THAN TO LET THEM FLEECE THE STATE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, THE DAVOS FORUM TO FIGHT THE MINING COMPANIES ON BEHALF OF GHANA? THEY ALL HAVE SHARES IN ALL THESE COMPANIES AND NEED THEIR RETURNS ON THEIR INVESTMENTS. SO, THEY WILL STAND BEHIND THOSE COMPANIES AGAINST YOU INSTEAD. MR. PRESIDENT, IT APPEARS YOU ARE A WEAK PRESIDENT IN THAT YOU COMPLAIN INSTEAD OF TAKING ACTION WHEN YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM. MR. PRESIDENT GHANAIANS GAVE YOU THE POWER TO ACT AND NOT TO GO ALL THE WAY TO DAVOS TO COMPLAIN TO YOUR ADVERSARIES. THE PEOPLE YOU ARE COMPLAINING TO ALL IF NOT MOST MIGHT HAVE SHARES IN ANGLOGOLD AND YOU ARE COMPLAINING TO THEM TO DO WHAT? I DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOU REALIZED THAT GHANA DOES NOT HAVE VALUE ADDED INDUSTRIES IN THE METALS IT HAS ON ITS SOIL. DR. NKRUMAH KNEW ABOUT THIS AS A PRESIDENT OVER 50 YEARS AGO AND STARTED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THE CAPITALISTS SAW THIS AS A THREAT TO THEIR BOTTOM LINE AND AGITATED TO KILL HIM AND THEY DID. GHANA BECAME FREE FOR ALL AND THEN SUDDENLY YOU WENT TO DAVOS TO COMPLAIN TO THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE BLOOD OF GHANA ON THEIR HANDS. DID YOU READ ABOUT WHAT ARGENTINE DID? PLEASE, MR. PRESIDENT, THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS TO STEER THE NATION AND COMPLAIN LESS. ACTION THEY SAY SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS. GHANA HAS BEEN TRAINING MINING PERSONNEL AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. THEY THE MINING COMPANIES WILL DO ANYTHING TO TAKE AS MUCH AS THEY COULD IF YOU LET THEM. WE ARE ALREADY POOR AND THEY CLOSE THEIR MINES TOMORROW , BUT IF YOU LET GHANA GROW MORE FOOD AND SELL THEM CHEAPLY, YOU CAN CALL THEIR BLUFF ANYTIME.

The only antidote to exploitation of our gold by these foreign mining companies is the SKILLS IN JEWELLERY DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING.
I think it has to introduced in the POLYTECHNICS AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN GHANA.
If Ghana is the second in GOLD PRODUCTION IN AFRICA,why have we waited for far too long in acquiring such skills,the foreign mining companies have adopted from time immemorial?
Our leaders never think of what matters to us(weightier matters) but the trivial.
RAWLINGS + KUFOUR + ATTA MILLS = 31 YEARS,but none of them tackled this problem but exported the raw gold.
Yet,we are paid just peanuts from these foreign mining companies who export the gold to their various countries to do the processing we've ignored.
