In a move to promote inclusivity and transparency, the Goldbod Technical Committee, led by Sammy Gyamfi esq., Acting Managing Director of the Precious Mineral Marketing Company (PMMC), met with small-scale miners and gold dealers in the Eastern Region. The engagement, held at Akyem Tafo in the Abuakwa North Constituency, aimed to educate participants on the policy rationale, objectives, functions, and regulations of the soon-to-be-established Goldbod.
The committee sought inputs from the miners and dealers on the Bill for Goldbod’s establishment, demonstrating a commitment to a broad consultative approach. Participants expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the initiative and pledged their support for Goldbod.
This engagement is particularly significant, given the importance of small-scale mining in Ghana. The sector has been a vital part of the country’s economy, with many miners relying on it as a source of livelihood. By involving small-scale miners and gold dealers in the decision-making process, the Goldbod Technical Committee is helping to ensure that their interests are represented and their concerns are addressed.
