GoldBod Gains Momentum: Tarkwa Stakeholders Back Mahama’s Vision for Gold Sector Reform
Small-scale miners, gold dealers, and bullion traders pledge support for President Mahama’s plan to restructure the gold sector.
Yesterday, the GOLDBOD Technical Committee led by the Ag. MD for the PMMC, Sammy Gyamfi Esq., held yet another successful stakeholder engagement in Tarkwa.
Participants, made up of small scale miners, gold dealers, bullion traders and jewelers in the western region were sensitized on the purpose, objects and functions of the soon to be established Goldbod and the need for stakeholders to cooperate with the Goldbod.
The discussions were very engaging. All participants declared their support for the vision of President Mahama to establish the GoldBod; the game-changer they have been waiting for.
The technical committee is grateful to the Ghana National Association of Small Scale Miners, Concerned Small Scale Miners Association, Chamber of Bullion Traders, Gold Dealers Association and the Jewellers Association, for their patriotism and invaluable contributions thus far.
When established, the Goldbod shall restructure the Gold trading sector and optimize national benefits, particularly through the mobilization of foreign exchange and the accumulation of gold reserves to strengthen the Ghana cedi and economy as a whole.
