CLAAG THREATENED MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION OVER ALLEGED MISMANAGEMENT AT NLA.


The Concerned Lotto Agents Association of Ghana(CLAAG) has threatened to shake the country with massive demonstration across the country.


According to CLAAG, NLA demanded a whooping sum of One Million Ghana Cedis from private lotto operators as registration and licensing fees in a so called Banker to Banker regularization and most of these operators have indeed paid the said fees since April 2018 and are yet to be licensed which NLA promised has failed.

The Executive Secretary for CLAAG, Mr. Kwaku Duah Tawiah said, the only way to get government to put a searchlight on the National Lotto Authority (NLA) and its current mismanagement and poor leadership is to demonstrate against the government for not fulfilling its promised.

Mr. Tawiah added that, NLA has now turned round to claim ownership of VAG Lottery and demanding the deprived Lotto operators to register with them on terms yet to be disclosed.

He continued that, with an estimated lotto sector dependents of over One Million Five Hundred people, this attempt by the NLA is to render them jobless and will further worsen the unemployment menace and wreck economic havoc in Ghana.

According to him, they have shockingly been informed that NLA without recourse to National Procurement guidelines has imported into the country E-kiosks and accompanying gadgets to be sold and imposed on Lotto Operators, Agents and Writers at exorbitant prices ranging from GHc15,000 to GHc 20,000.

  AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE  ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939. CAST’s early success led to investment in other diamond exploration and mining ventures in West Africa particularly in Ghana – resulting in the establishment of Great Consolidated Diamond (GCD).  1n 1963 Lake Asubone was created artificially in Asubone near Akwatia in Denkyembour District of Gh...
