Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Ghana Mine Workers Union has announced a demonstration to be staged at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to demand that government terminates the mining contract issued to Future Global Resources.<\/b><\/p>\n

The demonstration will start on April 15.<\/p>\n

The Union members alleged that the current Management of the company lacks the competency and skills to manage the Bogoso-Prestea mine.<\/p>\n

General Secretary of the Ghana Mine Workers Union, Abdul Moomin Gbana said this when he addressed a news conference in Accra on April 8.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Union is proceeding to serve notice to embark on a series of demonstration, we intend to do so at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Jubilee House, the demonstration will last for 72 hours,\u201d Mr. Gbana declared.<\/p>\n

He explained that the Mine Workers Union has petitioned the Ministry of Natural Resources to terminate the contract of Future Global Resources but has not yielded any results.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinister should proceed to act in the best interest of the Ghanaian worker, he must ensure that the mining lease is terminated,\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n

The General Secretary was also worried that the current situation has compelled workers to be laid off.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers\u2019 lives are in limbo, children cannot go to school, medical bills they cannot pay, this is a matter that must be prioritized by government,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
