Agyapa Royalties Deal Has Come to Stay-CVM




 



Agyapa Royalties Deal Has Come to Stay-CVM


The Concerned Voters Movement (CVM) has endorsed the Agyapa Royalties deal as a perfect deal to advance the course of socio-economic and infrastructural development in Ghana. It is important to state that Agyapa Royalties Minerals Limited is  100% owned by the Government of Ghana.


The NPP Government under the selfless leadership of Akufo-Addo has adopted a special purpose vehicle to leverage  the Country's minerals royalties for the overall benefit of the Country, unlike John Mahama who decided to use State Power to offer over 58% of the Country's Bauxite Concession to one of his junior brothers with absolutely no benefit to the Country. In the nutshell, Agyapa Royalties deal is for the benefit of the entire Country whereas Mahama's Bauxite Concession was for the benefit of the Mahama's family.


The decision of Government to list the Agyapa Royalties on the stock market is to raise revenue for the development of the Country and nothing else. The deal of Agyapa Royalties Minerals Limited is based on law passed by Parliament(Act of Parliament, Minerals Income Investment Fund),  and the deal would be a special purpose vehicle to keep track of all the Country's investments in the mining industry.


The arguments by some Civil Society Organizations and individuals against Agyapa Royalties Minerals Limited are baseless and without any merit. 


For the purposes of revenue generation, transparency and accountability, the Government of Ghana has decided to float 49% out of its 100% shares on the stock markets specifically Ghana Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange. When that happens, anybody including those making empty noise can buy some of the shares. 


After the floating of the shares on the stock market, Government of Ghana SHALL still be the majority shareholder(51%) of the Agyapa Royalties Minerals Limited.


Some of the people behind these Civil Society Organizations who are against Agyapa Royalties deal are a bunch of ignorant people parading themselves as jack of all trades. They know everything but they are experts of nothing. One of the impediments to socio-economic development of Ghana is the usual ignorant commentaries from "hungry and arrogant" individuals behind these Civil Society Organizations whose sources of funding are constantly classified as HIGHLY OPAQUE.


The CVM would like to ask the Civil Society Organizations making the empty noise about Agyapa Royalties deal these two  key questions:


1. What expertise, experience, competence and track record does Bright Simons, IMANI people and other CSOs have in stock market, asset management and minerals royalties transactions to give them the audacity to throw dust into the eyes of the general public?


2. Can they show with evidence that any of them have worked or consulted for any reputable stock market on minerals royalties before?


CVM commends the Government of Ghana for the enactment of Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) and the successful establishment of  Agyapa Royalties Minerals Limited, a special purpose vehicle to leverage on the Country's minerals royalties.


... Signed...

  C/R: Assin Oboba Kokorowa Pupils Are Forced To Study In Dilapidated And Death Trap Building The fate of over 500 pupils at the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School in the Assin North District of the Central Region hangs in the balance as they learn under dilapidated structures. The the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School has not seen any major rehabilitation since its establishment in 1970s. Parents and residents in and around the community are appealing for urgent assistance due to the deteriorating condition of their classroom blocks .  The school's infrastructure has become unsafe, forcing pupils to learn under dire circumstances. Parts of the aluminum roofing sheets are rusting away, while their remains hang loosely on the tiny erected concrete pillars. Class sessions end abruptly whenever the clouds gather.  “Our roof is ripping off. And when it rains, it leaks into our classroom, so we have to end classes.  “When it leaks, our books get wet and we are not able...

AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO

  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...
