Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Peter Amewu, has said that the mining lease in the possession of Exton Cubic Group Limited is null and void following failure to abide by laws relating to the license and some statutory infractions.
Mr Amewu, at a press conference on Monday, September 4, said the company has failed to abide by some regulations.
Consequently, government has written to the company to discontinue any attempts to move into the concession at Nyinahini in the Atwima Nwabiagya in the Ashanti Region.
“Act 703 sections 87 grants the minister the procedure for revoking of licence and what that law says is that if for any reason the minister is satisfied that the company has fail to abide by the terms and conditions of the licence or a requirement applicable to the licence then the minister has the right under the clause 87 to terminate”
“The infractions have been carefully analyzed and it has been established that if falls short of the procedural mechanisms that allows grant of lease and so that calls for the [invalidation],” he explained

so where are there 3 chiefs who held the press conference not long ago. disgraceful old men, including nkawiepaninhene
A good one there. No whom you know again. A former president's brother who is politically connected should always have his contract for concessions double checked and scrutinize. Ordinary Ghanaians seeking the same concessions do not have privilege access to powerfull people hence this another good decision by Nana Addo's government. This guy collapsed Merchant bank not long ago.
The Managing Director of the Company by his training and work experience should be able to say there were infractions in the process but he was rather arguing that they had gone through the process. going through the process was by 'Takashi' We learn and gain experience to apply and improve our working knowledge and not to follow the crowd. He has not made his working experience meaningful as the Managing Director.
Good move by the minister.... John Mahama Kanazoe and his brother Ibrahim are becoming very rich whiles the rest of us are getting poorer..... What happened to his GRA bounced cheques case?
What infractions? This is Ghana for you. When you gave them permission to enter the forest, didn't you know that there were some infractions? So when did the infractions come to your notice? Are you saying that but for the actions of the Ashanti Regional Minister, you would have allowed them to enter the forest? Oh, Ghana. Remember just as the cow could not keep its tail forever, so would it be taken away from the fetish priest one day. NPP will not be power forever. I await to see the reactions of the `Ayansafuor` if such measures are meted unto you when your corrupt government is no more.
Power sweet but I agree with the minister though you cant give everything to one man in the name of politics
