A USA company selling gold assets in Ghana to a Chinese company, something they would not deal to do at home.

Which government signed this Newmount deal.

They have been a pain to Ghana since they arrived.

How much did Newmont originally pay and from whom? Questions ordinary Ghanaians need to be asking.

Where is the Chinese government causing mayhem? When it comes to investment and development in Africa China has proved beyond any doubt that it is a reliable partner.

So is it the equipment cost or just our raw unexploited Gold that the Americans are selling to the Chinese? How? We are on the streets fighting our own people for mining scraps to feed their families. We should be fighting deals like this. This is colonialism. Exploitation. The taxes on such deals should be 50% so we should be taken at least 500 million USD from the one billion

That's not true! We are fighting the way they are doing it. Nobody should mine anything close to a water body and with dangerous chemicals even if they are starving to death.

Those expressing interests in putting their monies in the Chinese company must think twice. That's the only thing I can say looking at the current situation.

Everyday people cursing Ghana meanwhile she has done nothing but give us great things.its the people that are the problem.Ghana is the most beautiful and blessed land on Earth. Till we begin to hail her for what she is,we will never live to witness her wonders. Wars, slavery,Galamsey etc will all happen but Ghana remains the same. There is nothing new under the Sun. No amount of distraction will affect Ghana, only its inhabitants will face the wrath of their own evil. We came and we will all go but Ghana will remain Ghana.

Were there no contraceptives like condom in 1940 in Ghana? We wouldn't be having all these problems. At least the mother could have drunk some "blue" to get that deformed fetus out. She could have been a heroine for Ghana

Used to be a strong advocate of Ghanaians running mines.From the mismanagement seen at FGR Prestea Bogoso I have my doubts Do our investors have 300 million US Dollars for Akyem underground.I doubt.They will just mine surface and deplete it leave it home and dry.Same thing happening at Bogoso.
Short cuts in mining.
Only misery brought by Ghanaians running FGR Daniel Oweridu YB Amponsah Jojo Allen Ann Obeng Ababio etc.If foreigners can run a mine give it to them.We sometimes are too destructive .
Some Ghanaians are good but we don't have the massive investment for Akyem Underground.Bibiani Konogo Prestea underground riches are examples of how reckless we manage our gold endowment.
The colonialists managed to mine them but we as an independent country are failing.Kust destroying only surface mines

Why should we give it to foreigners for bribes by npp dogs. We should stop this nonsense now and look at the 24 hour economy, we can do better under NDC.

I'm not Ghanaian but this is sad. If you have gold in your own country, you can anything in this world. You can build your nation and the people with it. I don't understand why your government sold it to foreigners.
