Over 400 aggrieved jobless residents mostly youth of Wassa Akyempim in the Wassa East district of western region have expressed their fed up displeasure through demonstration against Golden Star Wassa mining Ltd.

According to Kwasi Mensah who is the convenor and leader of the unemployed residents, since the mining company was established at Wassa Akyempim for decades, the company has refused to offer the residents employments. Adding that majority of the residents are competent enough to fill the various vacancies in the company but they are not employed.

The company however employs people outside the Wassa Akyempim community which they describe as unfair recruitments.

Kwasi Mensah also revealed that the Akyempim community and the Golden Star Wassa Ltd have signed a Memorandum Of Understanding on employments but the company fails to apply the M.O.U.

The vice chairman of Akyempim youth association, Enoch Nyame also lamented that, Golden Star Wassa Ltd has destroyed all their farm lands, the workers have also bought all their building lands at affordable prices from the unemployed residents and impregnating their sisters and girlfriends which has rendered most of the youth in the community drunkards and thieves.

Meanwhile, several efforts and attempts to hear a response from the community affairs manager of Golden Star Wassa Ltd but he refused to speak on the matter.
