OVER 4000 GOLD MINERS LAID OFF IN GHANA



By: Kwamina Bamfo-Agyei
Over 4000 miners in Ghana have been laid off from their work due to low international price for gold and high production cost.
The Secretary of Professional and Managerial Staff Union of Ghana Mine Worker Union, Mathani  Awuah disclosed this to Central Press during the May Day celebration in Cape Coast.
It was on the theme Ghana’s Economy: A concern for all. The President John Dramani Mahama assured workers that very soon the country’s economy will turn for the better. The Central Regional Minister E.K.T Addo read the speech for the President.
The President mentioned that Ghanaians and government “will remain allies working together for a common cause” and promised to improve the channels of communications “so that we may strengthen our collaboration.”
He however denied the assertion by the TUC that views expressed by organizations and individuals on the economy are treated with contempt stating that “they are treated with careful consideration.”
