Lawyers for businessman, Ibrahim Mahama have written to policy analyst, Bright Simons over what they describe as defamatory and misleading claims made in a recent article on Ghana's handling of the Damang gold mine.
The article, titled "Ghana Provides a Lesson in How Not to Nationalise a Gold Mine", was published on Simons' personal blog on April 19, 2025.
In the said article, he alleged that Engineers & Planners (E&P)-a mining services company linked to Mr.
Mahama-was poised to benefit from political interference following the state's decision not to renew Gold Fields' lease at the Damang site.
