Members of Parliament and the Parliamentary Candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Central Region have emphatically stated that, it's an insult to accept a 1% lithium revenue following the mineral exploration of lithium in the Mfantseman Municipality.
Dr. Arhin, therefore, called on the electorates to massively vote for the NDC come December 7 polls, to enable them to halt all the activities of the exploration company in the district and renegotiate the deal again for the benefit of the constituents.
According to Dr Ebenezer Prince Arhin, the MP for Mfantseman, Hon. Ophelia Mensah Hayford has failed the constituency and has showed that, she doesn't have any strategic plan for the good people of Mfantseman.
Dr. Prince Arhin referenced the current ministerial vetting where the MP displayed a nonchalant attitude towards the people of Mfantseman when she said; "Mr chairman, I have not read the entire Lithium contract in full, hence I cannot speak to the percentage in it".
Dr. Arhin, therefore, called on the electorates to massively vote for the NDC come December 7 polls, to enable them to halt all the activities of the exploration company in the district and renegotiate the deal again for the benefit of the constituents.
Dr. E. Arhin assured that, the youth in the constituency shall directly benefit from the lithium and also will advocate that the lithium office and its assilary operation are sited in Mfantseman constituency.
Addressing the crowd, MPs and Parliamentary Candidates in the Central Region described the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a failed government and has mismanaged the economy.
The former Vice President of the National House of Chiefs who doubles as the Paramount Chief (Omanhen) of Abeadze Traditional Area, Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi VII also expressed his displeasure at the rate of spoilt ballots following recent research.
He further urged Ghanaians to vote wisely in the 2024 polls as responsible citizens.
Meanwhile, Ghana’s first lithium mine has taken a step toward raising capital from equity investors in the country.
The company has listed all its shares in issue on the Australian Securities Exchange and London Stock Exchange’s AIM board, on the Ghana Stock Exchange.
