He assured miners that the NDC, when in power, would address these issues by establishing Minerals Commission district offices in all mining areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIllegal mining became rampant in Ghana because miners were struggling to secure licenses from Accra. Small-scale miners had to travel long distances, often staying in hotels, just to chase licenses. When frustration sets in, many resort to illegal mining. Under an NDC administration, we will bring licensing offices closer to miners to simplify the process and enforce regulations effectively,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p><b>Cooperative Mining Policies<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Tony Aubynn outlined plans to replace the current Community Mining Scheme with a Cooperative Mining Scheme. He criticized the ruling New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) approach, claiming that it benefited Chinese nationals instead of local communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Cooperative Mining Scheme will focus solely on empowering locals in mining communities. Unlike the NPP\u2019s scheme, ours will be structured to serve the people directly,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added that an NDC government would create a special fund to support cooperative mining activities. This fund would operate under the strict supervision of mining experts to ensure adherence to best practices and environmental protection.<\/p>\n<p><b>A Call to Action<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Aubynn further urged miners to rally behind the NDC to help reform the small-scale mining sector. He criticized the current government for mismanaging the industry and expressed confidence in the NDC\u2019s ability to restore the sector for economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>The NDC\u2019s 2024 mining campaign team included Dr. Anthony Aubynn, Mr. Samuel Hajor, Michael Kojo Preprah, Adjei Baffour Acquah, and Ebenezer Ayehu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Tony Aubynn of NDC Election Committee on Mining Dr. Tony Aubynn, Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Election Committee on Mining, has commended small-scale miners for their massive support and commitment to safeguarding the party\u2019s votes in mining constituencies during the 2024 elections.
