Unconventional Ghanaian Reggae and Dancehall artist and media personality, Blakk Rasta has reacted to the application sent to the Minerals Commission by High Street Ghana Limited to mine in Kakum National Park.
Recall, InsightNewsgh.com previously we reported that the Minerals Commission rejected High Street Ghana Limited’s application for a mining license inside the Kakum National Park.
The Commission claims that after the mining firm’s application was deleted from the online mining cadastre, it was not given any thought.
In a response, Blakk Rasta descended on the Mineral Commission and the government describing as ‘failures.’
According to the “Barack Obama” hitmaker, High Street Ghana Limited attempted to try their luck on the national tourism center because it saw Ghana not to be a serious country.
“The minerals commission is a failure, and the government of Ghana is a big failure. If this was a serious government, nobody will dare think it let alone apply for a mining license in the Kakum National Park,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Minerals Commission emphasized that High Street Ghana Limited’s application will not be handled in a statement obtained by InsightNewsgh.com.
“The Commission wishes to inform the CSOs and the public that the application of High Street Mining Company Limited was rejected and therefore cannot be processed or considered whatsoever. Consequently, the Commission has deleted the application from the online mining cadastre.”
“The Commission wishes to assure the public that no mineral right whether for prospecting or mining shall be considered or granted in the Kakum National Park.”
Thus, it requested that the public ignore any reports to the contrary.
A number of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the nation vehemently opposed, on Friday, November 10, 2023, what they perceived to be an attempt by mining company High Street Ghana Limited to carry out mining operations in the Central Region’s Kakum National Park.
