The Resetting Agenda and Matters arising from Rocksure Nyinahin Bauxite Lease, Ewoyaa Lithium Lease and Damang Gold Mine saga

The Resetting Agenda and Matters arising from Rocksure Nyinahin Bauxite Lease, Ewoyaa Lithium Lease and Damang Gold Mine saga

Overview
The Resetting Agenda, the vision of President Mahama, is to ensure Economic, Political and Social transformations, through among others, emphasizes on local ownership of Large Scale Mining Lease in order to ensure maximum value from natural resources. As well as to ensure a total Attitudinal Change by instilling/demonstrating a sense of inclusivity, Patriotism, Honesty, Discipline, Probity, Transparency Accountability, through fair treatment, predictable and consistency policies in public or governmental administrations.

Thus among others, the Resetting Agenda is to motivate a total shift from an Affiliate-first government to a Citizen-first government, by dismantling or killing the entrenched retaliatory syndrome and “Pull Him Down” (hereafter as PHD) syndrome in the Ghanaian DNA, by relying on fair treatment, predictable and Consistency policies.

The Resetting Agenda, as stated above is to bring about Attitudinal Change that would result in a New Citizen who would be dedicated, honest, modest, humble, whose integrity is his greatness and one who would have sound believe and trust in the Nation, the National Leaders and Institutional Integrity.

Unfortunately, juxtaposing the Nyinahin Bauxite Lease Deal saga involving a Ghanaian Mining Company namely Rocksure International with the Ewoyaa Lithium Deal of a foreign Company, namely Atlantic Lithium Ltd and the Damang Mine Saga involving a Ghanaian Mining Company, namely E&P, revealed lack of fair treatment in the case of the bauxite lease deal of Rocksure. It showed poor policy consistency in the era of a Resetting Agenda to kill or dismantle the Retaliatory Agenda or the PHD Agenda in the body politics of Ghana. Since the scenarios, appeared to be riddled with likely unfairness, likely fishy acts and lack of transparency, hence, a suspicion of seemingly unethical and unprofessional conducts.

So, it is very sad in the early days of the Resetting Agenda, the Sector Minister and his team who are Disciples of the Resetting Agenda and as such were/are to execute the Agenda accordingly, have rather created very contrasting scenarios for the three mentioned major projects, with the cancellation of Rocksure International’s Nyinahin Bauxite lease deal involving a Ghanaian Company, hence maximum value from natural resources ,, but the ratification of Ewoyaa Lithium Project for a Foreign Company and the planned aggressive takeover of the Damang Mine for E&P, thus making the Resetting Agenda to face critical litmus test regarding its integrity, fairness, transparency, inclusivity or policy consistency.

Considering the tenets of the Resetting Agenda and Ghana’s laudable idea of getting Ghanaians in the Commanding heights in the mining sector, especially the policy of ownership of large scale mining lease by Ghanaians, one may not be wrong to conclude that the affected State Officials by the cancellation of the Nyinahin Bauxite Deal of Rocksure International may be unknowingly sabotaging Ghana’s Resetting Agenda or have made it a seemingly Retaliatory Agenda or PHD Agenda.

So, if the Resetting Agenda as proclaimed by Dear President Mahama is well meant for a Better Ghana, hence Ghana First Agenda, so Citizen-First Government Agenda and not Affiliate-First Government Agenda, he should get his disciples in the Mining Sector to ensure among others, a Citizen-First Government and not Affiliate-First Government.

The President to please see to a return of the Nyinahin Bauxite Lease to Rocksure International to accept and give the Company time as expected to act otherwise for the Company to refuse is the best option opened to him for the citizens to believe in and trust the Resetting Agenda and Institutional integrity as New Citizens.

Since by this way, it will go a long way to show case that he is very serious with the Resetting Agenda and wants it to stay in the 4th Republic as major Legacy of JDM for changing the narrative or state of affairs through the creation of New Citizens whose integrity is his greatness by killing the PHD syndrome and Retaliatory Agenda in the DNA of Ghanaians. Hence, history will not forgive him if he fails Ghana.

Ownership of large Scale Mining Lease
As stated above, Ghana has come out with a laudable idea of getting Ghanaians in the Commanding heights in the Large Scale Mining Sector. So before, dilating on the topic, it is necessary to deal with crucial matters on Ghana’s later decision through the Sector Minister as revealed in the bid for the Damang Mine with the notion that the bid is for exclusively 100 percent Ghanaians ownership firms, as a new policy for Large Scale Mining operations.

Mining its capital Intensive so the PNDC regime which brought about the privations of the Mining Sector as part of the economy recovery program through the Minerals and Mining Law 1986 (PNDCLaw 153) and the establishment of the Minerals Commission with PNDCLaw 154 to attract Foreign Direct Investment, so it is feared that this route or requirements may hurt or haunt Ghana, if the policy is not fine-tuned.

So, the idea of a total 100 percent or exclusively Ghanaian ownership of Large Scale Mining as demonstrated with the recent matters with the takeover of Damang Gold Mine and its lease, should be a disturbing matter since Mining is capital intensive.

Hence, substantial foreign linked credit facilities, financing and expertise are required for large scale mining. Ghanaians especially our President need to appreciate the logic by the PNDC, for legalizing Galamasey into Small Scale Mining, a poverty driven phenomenon, with Section 77 of Minerals and Mining Law 1986 (PNDC Law 153).

Why the PNDC, followed with the formalization of Small Scale Mining with a detailed and separate Small Scale Mining Law 1989 (PNDC Law 218) and to drive their point home with a unambiguous or definite definition of Small Scale Mining at Section 21 of PNDC Law 218, as a method of mining with no use of sophisticated technology, no use of substantial money and totally exclusive to only Ghanaians. Google and read Review the Laws on Small Scale Mining by Dr Tony Aubyn, my former tutor and boss at the Ghana Chamber of Mines.

Hence Small Scale Mining means zero tolerance for sophisticated technology, substantial money hence zero tolerance for the involvement of foreigners. Our leaders may be forgiven for the involvement of black Africans but can they say they are cannot see Chinese and other foreign Nationals by their skin colour and the use of .Chafang machines alias One Leg in the Small Scale Mining Sector.

Hmm we claimed RIVERS OR WATER BODIES ARE RED ZONES but we lacked intestinal or testicular fortitude to punish DCEs who tax Chafang Machines codenamed as One Leg for mining in the RED ZONES. What a tragedy? So, Ghanaians are accomplices of the crime making Ghana as a crime Scene. So, it is no wonder that our leaders handled offenders with kid gloves.

So, our leaders ignorantly or deliberately corrupted the Small Scale Mining Sector by allowing the use of sophisticated technology, use of substantial money hence motivating foreigners especially Chinese or Ghanaians to partner with foreigners especially Chinese to invade and capture the Small Scale Mining Sector.

Hmm what is GoldBod saying, with the current state of Small Scale Mining? Is GoldBod, aware that Ghana cannot get money to buy Tetteh Quarshie’s or Goggisburg’s Cocoa and had/has to depend on foreign loan to do so. What a tragedy caused by our Leaders in the PNDC’s Small Scale Mining Sector with the resultant Existential Threat and no swift and brutal or decisive action to restore the vision of the PNDC? Cry the Beloved Country.

So by logic, Ghanaians gold buyers or traders are depending on foreign financiers especially the Chinese and Indians to support them to buy gold for GoldBod. Hmm, Bogoso Heath Gold has demo to the whole world that a foreign firm and not GoldBod, as the off taker of her gold.

Strangely, some disciples of President Mahama and his Resetting Agenda namely the Sector Minister and his Officials had the audacity to tell the whole world that Dr Duffour’s Heath Gold wanted to buy the Damang Gold Mine and was the best challenger to Mr Ibrahim Mahama’s E&P and they are still at Posts. Hmm Jesus Christ, come now, Papa, your too soon is too long.

It should be noted that our fellow Nationals in the Mining Sector like Mr Ibrahim Mahama of E&P, Ms Joana Cudjoe, Chairman Wontumi, one time MD of Hansol Mining Company, Ms Angela List of BCM International and others rode on the back of foreign support through supply of credit facilities through financial and logistic supports and expertise to execute their mining business or contact service business successfully, hence in economics, one may be right to say that they had in the past or have foreign business partners or associates. Period.

Mr Ibrahim Mahama by his own accounts about his business suggest so. Google and read How Mr Ibrahim Mahama a School Dropped became a Billionaire and intelligence from E&P’s website etc tells of foreign support. Google and ask A1 or Google Search Engine whether E&P and Mr Ibrahim Mahama depended or depends on or secured foreign credit facilities and financing from logistics Suppliers and Banks to prosecute the mining businesses.

This is same with other Ghanaians in the Mining Sector. Google and read ‘How my Net worth reached 700 Million US Dollars by Keche Andrew’s wife‘. Google and read ‘Old Photos and Videos of Self-confessed Amenfi Central PC who is in Galamasey pops up’.

Google and read ‘Will Ghana ever learn? A letter to the Ghana and China Chamber of Commerce’ as published on the website of Modern Ghana on 23 July 2012 by Anna Hanson. Google and read Sweltering, Heat, Golden Dreams of Chinese Galamasey in Ghana’ as published in 2013. Google and read ‘We do not burn Wontumi’s Excavators by Hon Fuseini’ as published in 2013. Google and read ‘Chinese involvement in Small Scale Mining in Ghana by Professor Crawford’’ as published in 2013. The above articles confirm the assertions by this writer.

So Dr Cadman Mills was 100% right with his statement on Mr Ibrahim Mahama and the Damang Mine Saga with the narration that the matter has or may have global dimensions. Google and read Dr Cadman Mills’ statement on Mr Ibrahim Mahama and the Damang Mine Saga

By the study of Economics and Commerce , one is told that an involvement of Foreign credit facilities/financing and expertise with a local firm, creates a system of Partnership or association or associated business partner(s) this is what pertains in the Large Scale Mining Sector , all that is required to ensure they operate by complying with local and International Standards.

The issue of a total 100 percent exclusively Ghanaian ownership only pertains in the Small Scale Mining sector, which is basically a poverty driven phenomenon as such it has the unique characteristics of predominantly irresponsible mining due to no care for the environment and no care for the interest of the affected Communities.

Hence Ghana’s concept of Small Scale Mining as introduced by the PNDC, as exclusively for Ghanaians in full spectrum, Yet Foreigners have been motivated by Ghanaians and the Government of Ghana to operate in the Small Scale Mining Sector, in the name of providing Mining Support Services as provided by Minerals and Mining Support Services Regulations 2012 (LI2174).

The wiser PNDC team saw Large Scale Mining operations as capital intensive as such the PNDC enacted or passed Minerals and Mining Law 1986 (PNDC law 153) to ensure it must entail foreign support or involvement or Foreign Direct Investment, including expertise and not limited to financial and logistics supports as explained by Dr Cadman Mills.

So, for effective operations of Large Scale Bauxite mining, Gold mining and Lithium mining, requires global or foreign associates, so as stated above in economics these may be termed as business partnership relationship.

So no Ghanaian, including Mr Ibrahim Mahama, can do Large Scale Mining without foreign support. So a matter of ownership of Mining Lease or Rights in the Large Scale Mining Sector should be a requirement of a good Corporate Ghana with Ghanaians in the Commanding heights, including Ghanaians holding a reasonable equity contribution say not less than 50 percent shareholding.

It should be noted that relevant Constitutional and Statutory bodies or Institutions including Parliament, Minerals Commission and Bank of Ghana etc normally spell out how much of the export earnings from minerals say gold to be repatriated to Ghana for national interests and so monitoring is done with the support of the Minerals Commission, GRA, and Ghana Chamber of Mines to ensure the sale/export returns are in compliance with national law and policy.

The story that a separate vehicle or Company and not E&P is to be used for the Damang Mine by Mr Ibrahim Mahama and the story that ABSA and Stambic Banks, both as foreign banks, have assured Mr Ibrahim Mahama access to a total credit facilities of 600 Million US Dollars as such contributed to Mr Ibrahim Mahama wining the bid for the Damang Mine, speaks volume thus confirm this author’s assertion or the statement of Dr Cadman Mills and others on the processes for the Damang Mine bid was problematic.

It should be noted that Large Scale Mining Companies may decide or be required to float shares which may therefore be available for purchase by local and external investors, thus opening up ownership through shareholding, as such making the issues of demanding for exclusively 100 percent ownership in the Damang Mine is seriously problematic., if not a possible fishy deal to achieve a preconceived aim.

It is also very important for Ghana, through the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources to note that some Indians, Lebanese, Koreans etc in lucrative businesses in Ghana have or their ancestors/parents have stayed in Ghana for more than 70 years and see Ghana as their home. So they should be allowed to participate in the Ownership of Large Scale Mining.

The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources must take note of the raising of the bar by lifting the Ghana’s Flag very high by Ms Christiana Koch, the Astronaut as well as by His Excellency Ambassador Kojo Choi, with Korean blood and who is an associates of the Fafra people due to speaking their dialect fluently, hence may be one of them, and now as Ghana’s Ambassador to South Korea. Thus lifting very high the flag of Ghana in the Korea enclave.

Thanks to President Mahama for His Excellency Ambassador Kojo Choi’s appointment. Ms Christiana Koch, the Astronaut and His Excellency Ambassador Kojo Choi, have both demo that a foreigner could be more patriotic Ghanaian than most of us including some leaders of Ghana.

Hence, one of own ancestors namely Dr Kwagir Aggrey in 18th Century took cognizance of that and indicated that for a good melody, the Black and White keys of a Piano were/are necessary. Also the PNDC in 1986 took cognizance of this idea, so for effective Economy Recovery and its sustainability, found that Foreign Direct Investment in the economy especially in the large scale mining sector was necessary for the Development of a Nation. That to say is the PNDC felt that Ghana cannot be an Island, so the Country and her people must form global partnership for the Development of the Nation.

Hence need for Ghana to attract Foreign Direct Investment and expertise into the Large Scale Mining Sector, which is capital intensive should not be debatable. As well as the need to ensure that the Large Scale Mining Operation is done by complying with International and Local Standards to ensure both responsible Mining by the protection of the environment/ meeting interest of the affected Community and demand/requirements of the Nation’s Interests should not be debatable.

By Ghana Investment Law, GIPC law 2015 (Act 865), partnership with foreigners in the Large Scale Mining Sector is permissible with the law speaking on the minimum capital investment and reasonable equity percentage contributions by the local and foreign partners.

President Mahama in Singapore promised to change the law to meet the taste of/for foreign investors. Thus the action of the Sector Minister especially with matters with the Damang Mine on total local ownership may demo to the World that President Mahama did not mean it. So, Investors may lose confidence in Ghana.

So this writer is writing to support the position of Dr Cadman Mills that Large Scale Mining should not be exclusively for Ghanaian affair. Exclusively Ghanaian affairs are provided in the Small Scale Mining Sector. Yet Foreigners have been motivated by Ghanaians and the Government of Ghana to operate in the Small Scale Mining Sector, in the name of providing Mining Support Services as provided by Minerals and Mining Support Services Regulations 2012 (LI2174). What a disaster?

The disaster is due to the poor understanding of what is Small Scale Mining, which is Galamasey, since a decorated donkey is still a donkey. Period. So, Ghana must not allow Chinese or other foreigners or Sophisticated technology say Chafang Machine (one leg), nor substantial money etc in the Small Scale Mining Sector.

So this author wants to say either the Sector Minister lacks very good knowledge of the state of affairs in the Large Scale Mining Sector, the stand of President Mahama, otherwise he may be accused of acts of dishonesty through a likely fishy deal to achieve a preconceived aim with the Damang Mine or he is not interested in the advancement of Ghana. The Burk stops with the President, so Mr President of Ghana, please ensure your disciples act accordingly.

So, Dear President Mahama, you had a problem of not getting the two terms of four years in the Office of the President in a consecutive manner, so you were cocooned by God between 2017 and 2024 for you to think well for a better Ghana, so, please act accordingly by as Ghana’s type Jesus Christ, the savior of humanity or Judas Iscariot the betrayal.

Since, God through you JDM, gave for Ghanaians, a Resetting Agenda for a Better Ghana. Note it is God who nominates a leader of a Country as stated in Romans13;1. For a purpose which may be seen by a man depending where he stands as good or bad like Moses, Judas Iscariot or President Trump of USA.

SO for a Better Ghana we need not to be spectators, we should rather embrace the Resetting Agenda and ensure him (President Mahama) and his appointees do not derail the Ghana First Agenda of God through the doctrine (dogma, principle) of a Resetting Agenda based on the principle of Probity, Transparency Fairness, Accountability, and Inclusivity with Policy Consistency as enshrined in the Constitution.

So, the reason for the “Ghana First Agenda” for a Better Ghana Agenda continua, as being championed by Major Mohammed Bogobiri (rtd), on the online portal of Modern Ghana is to ensure the success of the Resetting Agenda. Since the core of a Better Ghana Agenda should now reside with the Resetting Agenda, which as a stated, is a governance vision of President Mahama, the Constitutional Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces.

Enter Roksure’s Nyinahin Bauxite Deal, Ewoyaa Lithium Lease and Damang Mine bid

As part of the Better Ghana Agenda, let me congratulate Mr Ibrahim Mahama for winning the bid for the Damang Mine. E&P and Mr Ibrahim Mahama are just victims of circumstances. The faults or the seemingly embarrassment, emanating with the process for the takeover of the Damang Mine should be blamed on the unprofessional, untidy and unfair acts by State Officials in the mining sector. So the Sector Minister should apologies to Mr Ibrahim Mahama, to his brother, the President of the Nation and fellow nationals for the embarrassment due to his or his Officials unprofessional, untidy and unfairly acts.

It will recalled that in 2019, the Government of Ghana, through public advertisements in both local and international media, hence through an open bidding process, invited investors for the development of the Nyanahin Bauxite Project. The requirements included: (a) Establishment of a bauxite mine and processing facilities. (b). Development of an alumina refinery Solution to supply VALCO or for export (c) a extension of rail line from Dunkwa to Nyinahin, (d). Determination of Minerals Reserve Estimate (MRE).

The investment structure required a partnership with the Ghana Integrated Aluminum Development Corporation (GIDEC), forming a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) as the Ashanti Bauxite Ltd, with a 30% stake for the State, to be held by GIADEC and 70% stake for the investor. Out of 47 competing firms—including ALCOA of USA, which is one of the biggest Bauxite Mining, Smelting and Alumina Refinery in the World and a Ghanaian-owned Contract Mining Company, as Rocksure International. Rocksure International died preliminary works and determined the location of bauxite mine and processing facilities at Nyinahin, the .Alumina Refinery Solution at MPAASOO, near Nyinahin and the state of MRE, all these at a very huge cost.

Unlike the botch with the Damang Mine as narrated below, the process for the ownership of the Nyinahin Bauxite lease and establishment of Aluminum Refinery Solution which led to Rocksure International wining the bid, took more than one month and ensured fairness, transparency, value for money or national interest hence good procurements requirements.

Unfortunately or fortunately, the Rocksure Nyinahin Bauxite Lease Deal faced the same problem with the Ewoyaa lithium Deal especially about the 10 percent royalty matter which resulted in both of them not ratified by the Parliament of President Nana Addo’s regime.

Strangely, the Ewoyaa lithium lease Deal for foreign Company namely Atlantic Lithium was handled with alacrity by the Sector Minister and got it ratified but denied to ensure the Rocksure Nyinahin Bauxite Deal was ratified by the Parliament in the regime of President Mahama with the Resetting Agenda and not Retaliatory Agenda. Hence the contrasting scenario, giving room for conjecture of a possible retaliatory act for the cancellation of Mr Ibrahim Mahama’s Exton Cubic Bauxite matter.

Google and read Major Bogobiri Article on Rocksure Nyinahin Bauxite Lease cancelation showed unfairness, policy inconsistency, So, besides it demo untidiness unfairness, policy inconsistency thus negates the Resetting Agenda, the vision of President Mahama.

A story or was it a rumor indicated that the cancellation was a retaliatory action on behalf of Mr Ibrahim Mahama in the Exton Cubic Group bauxite lease saga, another story had it that the cancellation was due withdrawal of that GIADEC from the partnership.

A critical study of the matter with the Rocksure Nyinahin Bauxite Deal, raises a lot of questions with tenets of the Resetting Agenda, the vision of Dear President Mahama which among others, include against both retaliatory acts and PHD (Pull Him Down) syndromes. The study also shows it is against the idea of ensuring local ownership of large scale mining lease.

It is envisaged that the matter may also raise constitutional questions. Article 269 of the Constitution makes Minerals Commission as the Risk Owner of all the Minerals on behalf of the President with Clause 6 of Article 257 of the Constitution making the President as the custodian of all minerals on behalf of the Citizens, hence including the Ghanaian who is the owner of Rocksure Internationals. So, GIADEC cannot hold the Bauxite lease which was allocated to Rocksure International for mining partnership with GIADEC.

So without a strategic partner, the lease must revert to the Minerals Commission, the risk owner as required at Article 269 of the Constitution.

As stated in the article, Rocksure Nyinahin Bauxite Deal cancellation showed unfairness and policy inconsistency by this writer, considering the laudable Resetting Agenda there are serious political, economic, social, psychological matters or questions, So President Mahama should demo that he meant well with the Resetting Agenda by returning the bauxite lease to Rocksure.

This is very important since the Ewoyaa Lithium of a foreign Company had the same problem in Parliament but was duly ratified in March 2026, so why a Ghanaian’s Rocksure Nyinahin Bauxite Deal was not submitted for ratification by the current Parliament, speaks of a seemingly anti-Ghana First, since it may offends the Resetting Agenda with the idea of Citizen-First Government, killing the retaliatory attitudes, and the killing of PHD (Pull Him Down) syndrome etc..

Damang Mine Saga
Ghana in early April 2025, agreed with Goldfields to operate the Damang and exit by 18 April 2025. So Ghana had enough time about not less than 12 months to put in a transparent, and fair procurement processes to ensure the effective takeover of the Damang Mine in order to keep it successfully effective or operational. For reasons best known to the Sector Minister, this was not done as expected for this very important Asset.

So, in March 2026, it was made public that three Local Companies namely E&P, BCM International and Vortex International were three Ghanaian bidders suggesting overlapping applicants. So it meant tender was restricted in line with subsection 2 of Section 258 of Minerals and Mining Regulations (Licensing) 2012 (LI2176) which indicated clearly that if the circumstances in 1 (c) of Section of 258 of LI2176, exist, the tender shall be restricted to the overlapping applicants. Google for Section 258 of Minerals and Mining Regulations (Licensing) 2012 (LI2176).

Unfortunately, we were suddenly informed of the late entry of new bidders including, hmm, Bogoso Heath Gold of Dr Kwabena Dufour and Maripoma Mining Firm of my northern brother, Mr Ali Seidu for the takeover of Damang Mine.

Heath Gold was formed in February 2024 and it is yet to find its feet at Bogoso Mine as revealed by the Chiefs and people of the area. The Company revealed its financial state with its an off taker arrangements for the Gold from the Bogoso Mine with a foreign firm due to a payment of about 70 Million US Dollars.

So, Heath Gold, failure to see anything wrong with the process that led to Mr Ibrahim Mahama wining the bid, is expected if one examines the matter with a critical thinking mindset, he may rightly or wrongly suggest a likely foul play by State Officials by roping in Heath Gold in the Damang Mine saga. So, an embarrassment caused to the proponents of the Resetting Agenda and Dear Papa Dr Dufour’ s baby Heath Gold by the affected State Officials. They should allow Heath Gold to grow quietly with time and stop enticing Heath Gold to chew more bones.

Hmm, also another disturbing matter is the late entry for the takeover of the Damang Mine by Maripoma Mining Firm of Mr Ali Seidu, a seasoned miner who operated or operates a gold mine namely Nangodi Gold Mine and hence as a seasoned operator in the Mining Sector, he understands or he should understand the issues related to takeover of a mine especially type, the Damang Mine..

Mr Ali Seidu with his Maripoma Construction firm is playing a major role in Ghana especially with government road contracts including the Big Push program especially the Accra to Kumasi Road and some roads in Upper West, Sawlla to Wa road.

So, such a giant magnate or tycoon or colossal business holder should understand issues related to doing businesses with the State. Hence, the throwing of his tender documents into the dustbin due to an allegation that such a colossal business holder was not able to provide the required responses, should alarm a dead man to rise up from a casket and think of a likely wrong acts by the affected State Officials, and by their ill thought ended up discrediting or embarrassing him by the statement that he was not able to meet the requirements with the seemingly fishy acts to make applicants other than Mr Ibrahim Mahama to find it very difficult to demo the capacity to access over 400 Million US Dollars.

So what transpired may suggest that Maripoma Mining Company and Heath Gold were both thrown into the air to fool people. Thus making the situation to appear to some people as cooked for Mr Ibrahim Mahama, a very honest, humble and decent businessman, who if it was well done, by God, his Company would have still ended up as the winner.

So, the lack of transparency or the untidy, unfairly, hence the unprofessional conducts by the affected State Official has caused an embarrassment to Mr Ibrahim Mahama, his brother, the President and to the Nation, since the whole world watched the full drama. This should not be accepted in the Regime of President Mahama with the tenets of the Resetting Agenda.

So for the affected Official to make four days for any other honest Ghanaian, minus or less Mr Ibrahim Mahama to submit tender and proof evidence of access to 500 Million US Dollars, is absurd and an insult to a Resetting Agenda.

It is suggested that the Sector Minister and his team must apologies to the Nation especially to Mr Ibrahim Mahama for the embarrassment caused to him and the nation, with their poor handling of procurement matters on the Damang Mine Saga vis a vis the tenants of the Resetting Agenda of his brother Mr JD Mahama, our Nation’s President.

If Dear President Mahama wants Ghanaians to take him as a serious person with a Resetting Agenda, three options are opened to him either sack them or get them to apologies to Mr Ibrahim Mahama and to the Nation or does so on their behalf.
