Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur says government is committed to improving the Anglogold Ashanti Obuasi Mine.
He disclosed that efforts are being made to rejuvenate mine to create jobs for the people. “We will make the Obuasi mine attractive so that it can create jobs for the people,” Mr. Arthur stated.
The vice president described the life of the mine as very crucial on the agenda of the government to provide practical measures to reactivate the mine’s operation, saying “the mine is at the heart of the president”.
He made the statement when he addressed hundreds of NDC party supporters at the campaign launch of party’s parliamentary candidate for Obuasi West Constituency, Hon John Alexander Ackon who doubles as the Ashanti Regional Minister.
He called on the NDC members not to listen to the NPP but rather intensify their door to door campaign in the communities to ensure a resounding victory for President Mahama and the party in December.
He cautioned them to conduct themselves in peaceful atmosphere before and after the elections and went further to advice against complacency. Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur urged them to work tirelessly until victory is achieved.
The Vice President Kwesi Amissah- Arthur further asked the NDC supporters to target floating voters and explain to them that the NDC is a development oriented party.
