The NDC government sold 58 percent of our bauxite concession to the former President\u2019s brother on 29th December 2016 when they were leaving office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Mr Mahama\u2019s office has urged the public to treat the claims with the contempt that it deserves as it is not true.<\/p>\n<p>A statement by Mr Mahama\u2019s Aide, Rafik Mahama said: \u201cthe allegation by the technical advisor to the Vice President, Mr. Gideon Boako that the state sold 58% of Ghana\u2019s Bauxite to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama and Exton Cubic Group Limited is not true. We have three Bauxite concessions in Ghana, the three concessions are, Awaso concession, Nyinahin concession and Kibi forest reserve\/concession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government has sold the Awaso concession to Ghana Bauxite Company Limited now owned by the Bosai Minerals Group Co. Limited, a Chinese Company and also gave the Kibi forest reserve to the Chinese as part of the $15billion Chinese loan recently secured after the Vice President visit to China. Exton Cubic Group Limited is the only local company that has the capacity to challenge the foreigners in that sector. That\u2019s a fact. That\u2019s why they were given the Nyinahin concession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It added: \u201cIt\u2019s interesting to note that the government wants to give part of the Nyinahin concession to the Chinese again as part of the $15billion loan despite the Chinese controlling Awaso and Kibi forest reserves already. It\u2019s clear Mr. Gideon Boako statement against Exton Cubic Group Limited, a local company was done to whip up sentiments against the company. But that has failed miserably.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 51 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Saturday, 1 July 2017 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2017-07-01 Ibrahim Mahama is former President Mahama&#8217;s younger brother &#13; Businessman Ibrahim Mahama has vehemently dismissed allegation by Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia\u2019s Technical Advisor, Gideon Boako that the state sold 58% of Ghana\u2019s Bauxite to him [Ibrahim] and Exton Cubic Group Limited.
