Mr George Mireku Duker, the Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, has re-echoed government's commit­ment to resolving the dispute between the chiefs and people of Tontokrom in the Amansie South District and Asanko Gold Ghana. He stated that it would be one of the legacies of the govern­ment in the mining sector. There has been a stand-off between the community and the company over the exploitation of gold resources in the area leading to the death of one per­son this year following clashes between irate youth of the com­munity and security personnel on duty at the company. Following a series of meet­ings held at the ministry, Mr Duker, last Wednesday, em­barked on a working visit to the area to have face-to-face interactions with the company and community leaders as part of efforts to bring finality to the protracted matter impeding the success of the company and development in the township. The deputy minister first made a stopover at the office of Asanko Gold Ghana Company, where he acquainted himself with the issues from the compa­ny's perspective and proposed some steps the company must take to improve their relation­ship with the community.
