Workers petition Parliament over sale of Bogoso Prestea mine

A group of mine workers on Friday petitioned Parliament over the sale of the Bogoso-Prestea mine in the Western region.

The Deputy Clerk of Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djaoutre received the petition on behalf of Speaker Alban Bagbin.

They were therefore led by the General Secretary of the Ghana Mine Workers Union, Abdul Moomin Gbana.

“We also want to mention that the sale and purchasing agreement did not come to Parliament, so we want the Speaker and by extension Parliament to conduct investigations into the agreement,” he requested.

The group had earlier converged at the Independence Square, demanding that government revokes the mining lease of Future Global Resources(FGR) Limited, the operators of the Bogoso-Prestea Mines.
