Economic Advisor to the Vice President, Gideon Boako, has said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has no business cautioning the NPP administration<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>against leveraging Ghana’s natural resources, specifically bauxite through its recent partnership with China, since the former sold 58 percent of Ghana’s bauxite concession to Ibrahim Mahama, brother of former President Mahama.<\/p>\n Mr. Boako made the revelation while responding to former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Inusah Fuseini\u2019s caution against government’s move.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”xg5S1xBiWC8yHmaACBimL3xS64ZNA7qk”]Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, Mr. Boako said, \u201cI want to ask the former Minister which part of the concession did they sell to the brother of the former President\u2026? They sold 58 percent on 29th December 2016 when they were leaving office. The NDC government sold 58 percent of our bauxite concession to the former President\u2019s brother. The one they sold to him, was it possible to mine or not. They should stop this argument.”<\/p>\n Mr. Inusah Fuseini had warned that the potential mining of Bauxite could see the Atiwa forest reserve in Kyebi and other natural resources in specific areas compromised.<\/p>\n
