Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Economic and social activities in Bompieso in the Prestea-Huni Valley Municipality of the Western Region came to a standstill on Friday, March 1 when the Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, responsible for Mines, George Mireku Duker, led a delegation to officially launch the Bompieso Community Mining Scheme which is expected to cause a remarkable positive shift in the economic fortunes of the residents.<\/b><\/p>\n

Traditional authorities and residents of the town turned out in their numbers to not only witness but also share in the joy of the arrival of government\u2019s much-touted Community Mining Scheme which is expected to mark the commencement of major transformation in the economic lives of the inhabitants of the community and others nearby.<\/p>\n

With over 5,000 jobs expected to be created directly, the Bompieso Community Mining Scheme is expected to steer the community towards a path of economic success anchored on a sustainable and responsible mining module known as the Community Mining Scheme.<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering at the launch, Mr Mireku Duker highlighted the critical role of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the area, Barbara Oteng Gyasi, in the establishment of the Community Mining Scheme.<\/p>\n

He touted Madam Oteng Gyasi\u2019s contributions, noting that the welfare and progress of the constituents is a major concern for her and that if given the nod to represent the people in the 2024 election, she will ensure the development of the constituency.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Minister also urged the chiefs and residents to play their role as watchdogs in the community and assist government in its bid to reduce illegal mining to the barest minimum.<\/p>\n

He said the government is determined to ensure that the small-scale mining sector serves as a platform for the growth of Ghanaian investors in the mining sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis day would not have been possible without our mother, Barbara Oteng Gyasi. I believe that when someone gives you life, its only right that you reciprocate that kindness and the only way she expects you to do that is voting for her in December. This scheme is a major intervention that will ensure that Ghanaians benefit from the resources God has blessed us with.<\/p>\n

\u201cNananom and everyone here must remember the importance of our waterbodies and help us protect them from harmful mining activities. We know illegal miners try to influence chiefs and opinion leaders in the communities to allow them undertake their activities but I want to appeal to you all to rise up and reject such offers and help government protect our waterbodies,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President is only one person and cannot be everywhere at the same time but we the locals have a responsibility to help fight the menace. Reject anything meant to influence you and let\u2019s clamp down on illegal mining activities in the country. The CMS is for all Ghanaians and I\u2019d capable of creating a lot of jobs for most Ghanains,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

In a speech read on behalf of the Board Chair, Barbara Oteng Gyasi, stated that the government of Nana Akufo-Addo has fulfilled most of his promises to Ghanaians, especially the people of Prestea Huni Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunity Mining Scheme is a good project and we are expecting to have at least 10 in this constituency. We already have some of the CMS concessions operating and we will soon launch the others. This project will bring employment and help boost economic activities in the country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah, said \u201cgovernment is not against small-scale mining. We want to raise Ghanaian giants in the mining industry and ensure that we all benefit from it. Western Region has benefitted from the CMS and we all must be happy\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Chief of the area, Bompiesohene, who chaired the occasion, added, \u201cwe are grateful to God and the government for setting up a CMS concession here. We\u2019ve been looking forward to this day so we are happy to be benefitting from the policy of the government. We promise to follow the guidelines and also ensure that it becomes our legacy and help develop the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
