The Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC), an agency under the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, headed by Mr Reindorf Twumasi Ankrah, is actively working on a legislative policy framework, with the support of the sector Minister, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, to regulate the downstream aluminium sector.
This sector encompasses activities such as aluminium scrap dealing, casting, fabrication, and forming aluminium into sheets, foils, rods, and other shapes.
The need for regulation stems from the escalating menace of cable and aluminium product theft in Ghana, highlighted by the recent exposure of a multi-million-dollar cartel targeting the Electricity Company of Ghana.
This underscores a critical vulnerability in the nation's industrial landscape.
