L & # 39; Hon. Yaw Osafo Marfo & Co must change their mind

If I were still young, there is no doubt that I would be tempted to help overthrow the stubborn government that is currently ruling in our country and that apparently gave the green light to the extraction of bauxite in the Atewa Forest Reserve. . Why destroy the Atewa Forest Reserve, while Guinea can partner with Ghana to develop an integrated aluminum industry in West Africa – by providing bauxite to melt to Tema?

Incredibly, the geniuses that now govern our homeland, Ghana, have apparently been led to believe that, thanks to state-of-the-art mining technology, the flora and fauna of the Atewa rainforest evergreen rainforest do not suffer any harm and that its delicate ecosystem (of what constitutes a critical watershed for no less than three major river systems: Densu, Birim and Ayensu) will not be destroyed. Unbelievable. Pure fantasy.

Is it not surprising that the future apocalyptic scenario is now upon us – in which most of southern Ghana will not have a source of power for its water treatment plants, drinking water treated to feed the millions of people living in this part of our country – if this madness continues, is it ignored by our headless leaders, despite the widespread protests of insightful and independent citizens who care about the fate of our younger generations and their offspring?

But most importantly, why are our current leaders not concerned that SynoHydro is truly persuaded to accept that mining in the Atewa Forest Reserve is now politically unacceptable to the vast majority of Ghanaians, which means that, as Is this a democracy made up of active citizens, a way to pay back the $ 2 billion that SynoHydro is lending to Ghana will simply have to be developed for this reason?

This is not because Yaw Osafo Marfo & Co is not able to find innovative ways to find the money needed to pay back what SynoHydro has been doing in Ghana, so far, should not result in the destruction of the Atewa Forest Reserve – as a result of government sanctions exploiting the poor quality bauxite deposits it contains.

Finally, the question we need to think about is: why does not Yaw Osafo Marfo & Co believe that they could approach Huawei, for example, and ask him to repay the money that SynoHydro has put forward? so far in Ghana – and, in turn, Ghana is giving this Chinese giant innovative cast iron technologies the badurance that it will be allowed to partner with Ghana to deploy a 5G network in our country when the time comes. Ditto form a joint venture with Ghana to allow Huawei to help other countries in sub-Saharan Africa build their own 5G networks? Yaw Osafo Marfo & Co must change his ideas. Haaba.
