I side with you the pple of Ewoyaa.. don't agree for it to be slashed to 5%.
If global prices come down, the 10% of the value will also be less so why reduce 10% to 5% again?

Whereas other countries ask for 50% royalties, these mad people want to reduce even the disgraceful 10% to 5%, and they only do this because of kick backs. No wonder Ghana's resources are being looted by foreigners while keeping Ghana underdeveloped and go begging even for a few million dollars to do what needs to be done

the original agreement also states that 1% royalty goes to the Ewooya community. The Ewoyaa community should seek 1.5% now.

N.P.P. gave them 10% royalties, and people started to complain that it was too small, but look at what they are doing.

I support the chiefs demand or minerals should be left underground for future people. We should not be eager to accept 5% no.

We are all backing the chiefs and people of the lithium mining community for this horrible deal. Why are some politicians so wicked and evil like never before. Negotiations were supposed to increase the percentage of royalties and not to reduce it. Mahama appointees are deviating from their core principles and that’s dangerous for the party.

There are other benefits such as jobs and community development that have positive impact on the people.
Remember that sometimes the people don't see anything from the royalty even no matter the amount.

The BARARI lITHIUM COMPANY has put the Ghana govt in a very tight spot regarding their 5% royalty reduction demand.They can exit Ghana if their demands are not met. Already the company has already laid off 160 of its workers.
The company has recently discovered even more substantial deposits of lithium in Ivory Coast, just 10km from Abijgan Port.
