The Minority in Parliament has raised alarm over recent government policies in the mining sector, warning that they could hinder growth, deter foreign investment, and lead to job losses.
In an April 21, 2025, letter to the Ministers of Finance and Lands and Natural Resources, the opposition expressed concern over the potential economic risks of new measures, including a 3% Growth and Sustainability Levy on mining volumes and additional levies set for 2026-2028.
The letter, signed by opposition MPs Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Kwaku Ampratwum Sarpong, and Dr.
Mohammed Amin Adam, emphasised that these levies are placing financial strain on distressed mines and disincentivising new investment.
