Former Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for Suame, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has warned against the consequences of a further delay in the passage of Ghana's lithium agreement.
According to Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, lithium has a life span and may fade out in the shortest possible time.
Speaking at a stakeholder forum in Parliament on Tuesday, September 3, the Suame MP said Parliament must fast-track the passage of the agreement to avert any stranding. "We must declare in our minds that if we don't take action, we may experience stranded assets in not too distant the future.
As far as lithium is concerned, we should not think that it is an eternal resource. "What is happening now, pretty soon, if we are not careful, it may fall into the category of stranded assets.
That is not to say that we should not approach it with some degree of caution."
