Cede part of concession to people of
Prestea - Resident
Prestea, July 6, GNA - Mr John Kweku Akapko, a resident of
Prestea, has appealed to the government to get Golden Star
Resources Bogoso/Prestea Limited to allocate part of their
concession to small-scale miners of Prestea and its
environs.
This would help to curtail the rift between the mine and the
many small scale operators (galamsey) whose operations were
stopped by soldiers.
Mr Akakpo told journalists that a few years ago Prestea was
bustling with commercial activities but with the
introduction of surface mining and stopping of "Galamsey"
operators many people have been rendered jobless and
commercial activities have almost ceased.
"The streets are virtually empty and although stores are
opened everyday, owners complain that customers are not
patronizing their goods," he said.
