\n

Residents of Osuben in the Kwahu South District of the Eastern Region have dared government and a Taiwanese Mining firm to proceed with mining activities in their community.<\/p>\n

The residents registered their displeasure on Wednesday, July 31, 2019, when the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Kwaku Asomah-Cheremeh, visited the town as part of his five-day working visit to the area.<\/p>\n

The residents shouted at the Minister and his entourage, indicating strongly that no mining activity would be allowed in the area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Attempts to calm down the angry residents proved futile, leaving the Minister and his team as well as the Taiwanese nationals helpless.<\/p>\n

The residents say its their cocoa that they want and not gold.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t like gold money oo we don\u2019t like gold money,\u201d they screamed at the Minister.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cOur cocoa is what we like,\u201d they said, adding that \u201cif it rains we are not able to use our roads.<\/p>\n

They booed at the team as they referred to the mine owners as \u201d thieves.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is the second time they have revolted against the Chinese firm called Soon Mining Co. Limited.<\/p>\n

It was an embarrassing moment for the Minister and the second of such protests to greet him in the region.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, July 30, 2019, residents of Esaase protested against the presence of a Chinese Mining firm, Akroma Gold Limited when the Minister visited the town.<\/p>\n

At the core of all the protests are lack of infrastructure such as
roads, decent school blocks and health facilities.<\/p>\n

Roads in the mining towns are all in deplorable state, and usually muddy during rainy season.<\/p>\n
