Mining Companies

Ever since mining started in Ghana, the story of individuals who have suffered perniciously in the hands of mining companies have neither changed nor ever been solved. Mining companies in Ghana have a track record of reacting only to situations that disrupt with their interest, mostly by coercion. The people on the other hand have lost their trust in the State because the State has so far been defenceless of their rights but very supportive of the inhuman activities of mining companies.

It is for this reason that the forum organized on the 22nd of the June 2007, by the National Coalition on Mining at Techire meant a lot to the residents of those mining areas. The objectives of the forum was to express and offer solidarity to communities affected by mining and to use the occasion of the World Environment Day (June 5) to draw mining companies and state regulatory agencies' attention to the need to do more to protect and sustain the integrity of the environment.

This forum was particularly of great importance to the residents of mining areas because, for many, it was either the first or only opportunity for their story to be heard and the inhuman actions of mining companies to be exposed once again. Also many who attended, were very interested in the protection they had against mining companies in the law of Ghana, whether mining companies were justified by their actions and the law could bring them to justice.
