Hold small-scale miners to reclamation of lands — Traditional leaders to gov’t
Some traditional leaders in the Asante-Akim Central Municipality and Amansie West District of Ashanti are advocating for government to introduce a reclamation bond in the small-scale mining. This, they believed, was the way to go to restore degraded mine sites, lost nutrients and minerals in soils, to effectively deal with the destruction of lands. They said it was imperative to replicate the reclamation bond system being operated by large-scale mining companies in the small-scale sector with the active involvement of chiefs to ensure sanity in the reclamation process. They raised the concerns at separate meetings at Manso-Nkwanta and Konongo during a district multi-stakeholder dialogue on mining organized by Tropenbos Ghana as part of its “Securing Food and Ecosystem Services in Mining-Plagued Regions of Ghana” project. The four-year (2018-2022) project is funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). It is being implemented in Asante-Akim Central, Amansie West District, and Akuapim South in the Eastern Region. The project seeks to through research, engagements, and policy discussions, be able to come out with a harmonized integrated land use within the mining communities in Ghana. The programme brought together traditional leaders, miners, farmers, district assembly representatives, officials from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Minerals Commission, and landowners to discuss laws, roles, challenges, and other pertinent issues in the mining landscape. It was held under the theme “Sustainable small-Scale Mining for National Development; the Role of District and Community Level Stakeholders.” The Chiefs advised that mining should be executed responsibly with citizens complying with associated laws to help sanitize the mining system. Mr. Christopher Anokye, a member of the Project Advisory Committee for Tropenbos and A Rocha Ghana, said although there were adequate mining laws in the country, the government must enforce the laws to address the lapses in mining. He indicated that small-scale mining was critical to Ghana’s economy and also provided employment to over a million Ghanaians, therefore, there was an urgent need for addressing its appalling state for progress. Mr. Anokye disclosed that in the year 2018, the amount of gold produced by the small-scale sector was almost equal to that of the large-scale mines. Mrs. Mercy Owusu Ansah, Director for Tropenbos Ghana, said community members had a critical role to play in sustaining the environment which was why the organization was ensuring local stakeholder participation and inclusiveness in dealing with sustainable mining for national development. She reminded Ghanaians to be wary of land use and explained that mined sites took longer years in regaining nutrients and reclamation was very expensive.

Finance Ministry punches Adongo, ‘he got his math, finance wrong on Databank, Black Star firms’
The Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning has stated that Databank and Black Star Brokerage form part of some nine firms that have been selected by the Bank of Ghana and Ministry of Finance as Bond Market Specialists. The seven other firms include Ecobank, Stanbic Bank, ABSA, Cal Ecobank, Stanbic Bank, ABSA, Cal Bank, GCB Bank, Fidelity Bank and IC Securities. A statement issued by the Ministry on 1 June 2021 in reaction to claims by Bolgatanga Central MP Isaac Adongo that Databank and Black Star Brokerage, owned by the Minister of Finance, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta and Minister of State-designate at the Finance Ministry, Mr Charles Adu-Boahen, respectively, have been appointed advisors to the Ministry, said the opposition lawmaker got it wrong. The statement explained that the selection of the nine firms was solely based on their historical performance on the bond market. It said “both Ken Ofori-Atta and Charles Adu Boahen are no longer involved, in any way, with the day-to-day operations of either Databank or Black Star. Mr Adu Boahen resigned from the Board and from management of Black Star back in January 2017, immediately after he was nominated by the President as one of his Deputy Ministers of Finance”. “He also transferred his shares in the company to a family trust on assumption of public office. Mr Ofori-Atta resigned as Executive Chair of Databank in August 2012 and resigned from all the Databank Boards in February 2014”. The statement further debunked claims that “the three advisors, including Databank and Black Star, stand to make more than GHS210 million in fees”, describing the assertion as “inaccurate, misleading and intended to procure cynicism against the process”. In his article, Mr Adongo said “Ken Ofori-Atta and Charles Adu Boahen have contracted their own companies to be transaction advisors to themselves and decided how much they should pay their own companies”. “This transaction is tainted with potential insider-trading and conflict of interest. They killed competition and set a new low in fiduciary standards and an empty lawyer is celebrating this new normal?” Read the Finance Ministry’s full statement below: Response to social media article on firms of Ofori-Atta, Adu Boahen appointed advisors to Finance Ministry The attention of this Ministry has been drawn to an article circulating on social media headlined, ‘Firms of Ofori Atta, Adu Boahen appointed advisors to Finance Ministry’. The story relates to the development of Ghana’s domestic market for government bond issuance which is a key debt strategy in accordance with Section 58 of the PFM law and a recent public notice issued by the Bank of Ghana titled “Licensed Primary Dealers (PDs) and Bond Market Specialists (BMSs). This Ministry would like to state that the selection of the Primary Dealers [PDs] and Bond Market Specialists [BMSs] is an automatic process based on market performance and historical secondary market trading activity which is publicly available and cannot be manipulated by the Ministry of Finance [MoF] or the Bank of Ghana [BoG]. Since 1996, the Ministry of Finance with the Bank of Ghana has developed and implemented various policies which affect the issuance and trading of Government of Ghana debt securities (Treasuries and Bonds). The ultimate objectives of these policies are to develop an efficient fixed income market, strengthen the capacity of local institutions and deepen financial intermediation. Based on this background, this Ministry would like to clarify the matters arising as follows: 1. It is our understanding that the firms in question that the story refers to are Databank and Black Star Brokerage. The Ministry would like to state that the claim that these two firms have been appointed as advisors to the MoF is incorrect. 2. Databank and Black Star Brokerage are two (2) out of nine (9) firms that have been selected by BoG/MoF as Bond Market Specialists and not Advisors to MoF, the other firms selected to be BMSs are – Ecobank, Stanbic Bank, ABSA, Cal Bank, GCB Bank, Fidelity Bank, and IC Securities. As stated above, the selection of the firms was solely based on their historical performance on the Bond Market and no other consideration. 3. Primary Dealers (PDs) are institutions authorised by the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and have the exclusive right to participate in the wholesale auctions of Treasury Bills. Bond Market Specialists (BMS) are PDs that have the exclusive right to participate in the sale, distribution and primary issuance, by auction or otherwise, of all GoG Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The selection process for firms to act as PDs and BMSs is based only on merit. The Ministry of Finance or the Minister and/or his Deputies have absolutely no hand in the selection process. The process cannot also be subject to any manipulation as it is based solely on historical data of trading and performance which is a matter of public knowledge on the bonds market. 4. The key criteria for the selection of the nine firms was based on secondary market fixed income trading operations. This benchmark is critical for market making in bonds and was instrumental in the selection of the 9 firms out of the 17 PDs for the additional role of BMS. The nine firms have been categorised as follows; international banks (not less than 3 firms), domestic banks (not less than 3 firms) and non-bank financial institutions (not less than 3 firms). 5. Secondary Market fixed income trading data for non-bank financial institutions, which is publicly available put Blackstar Securities as the highest trader by value for the period of assessment. IC Securities and Databank placed second and third in the rankings respectively. This information is publicly available from the GSE but for ease of reference has been reproduced here. 6. It is the opinion of the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Ghana that this selection process rewards meritocracy, ensures transparency in the selection process and provides this Ministry with a selection of highly capable and motivated institutions with the opportunity to become Primary Dealers and BMSs if they perform.
Breaking News: Prez Buhari and his government Suspends Twitter Indefinitely After Social Platform Blocks Its President’s Account
Amidst the growing discontent against Twitter, Nigeria became the first country to suspend the US-based micro-blogging website in the African continent. Accusing Twitter of double standards, the Nigerian government ceased operations of the social media platform after it froze President Muhammadu Buhari’s account. Notably, Twitter had months ago banned former US President Donald Trump for allegedly inciting violence during the unfortunate breach of Capitol Hill. Making the announcement on Friday, Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed condemned the ‘persistent use’ of Twitter for activities allegedly capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence. The stern action comes days after Twitter removed a post by Nigeria’s President that threatened punishment for separatists in the country’s southeast region that officials have blamed for frequent attacks on federal property. “Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the field for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand,” the Nigerian President had tweeted which was later taken down. Alleging that Buhari’s aforementioned tweet violated the social media platform’s ‘abusive behaviour’ policy, Twitter removed the post and suspended his account for 12 hours. Nigeria accuses Twitter of double standards Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed called Twitter’s mission in Nigeria “suspicious” and added that the US technology company has an agenda. “We have a country to rule, and we will do so to the best of our ability. Twitter’s mission in Nigeria is very suspect, they have an agenda. The mission of Twitter in Nigeria is very suspicious,” Mohammed had said on May 2, as per ANI. Further, the Nigerian minister said that the social media firm had overlooked the tweets of leading secessionists in the nation. He went on to say that when people were burning police stations and killing policemen in Nigeria during ‘End SARS’, a decentralised social movement, then for Twitter it was about the right to protest. “But when a similar thing happened in the US, it became insurrection,” Mohammed said. Twitter faces backlash in India The significant development comes at a time when the California-based social media platform is facing backlash in India as well. While the new IT rules for social media platforms came into effect on May 25 this year, Twitter is yet to comply with the guidelines despite stating that it ‘strives’ to do so. The Government of India in a stern communication had objected against its non-compliance and issued a warning to the firm. The matter has reached the courts with the Delhi High Court adjourning the matter until July 6. Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Contempt trials won’t save you from credible charges of partisanship if you continue to issue unreasonable judgments – US-based Asare to SC Justices
A United States-based Ghanaian professor, Stephen Kwaku Asare says no amount of contempt trials or disciplinary actions will save the Justices of the Supreme Court from credible charges of partisanship if they continue to issue unreasonable judgments. The private legal practitioner said this in reaction to the action brought against Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga East, Dr. Dominic Ayine. Mr Anin-Yeboah has referred to the General Legal Council for investigation comments made by the former deputy Attorney General. Dr. Ayine reportedly questioned the independence of Ghana’s judiciary in a CDD-Ghana Roundtable Discussion on ‘Presidential Election Petitions and their Impact on Africa’s Democracy’. His assertion, he explained was informed by the manner in which the 2020 Presidential Election Petition case was handled by the Supreme Court. During the discussion, Dr. Ayine among other things said that the Supreme Court in the adjudication of the election petition failed to apply the rules of procedure and continuously dismissed the plaintiff’s applications. “I expected the Supreme Court to apply faithfully the rules of procedure to – in terms of adducing evidence – prove the petitioner’s case and so on. What we saw was a Supreme Court that was constantly putting hurdles in the way of the petitioner in terms of adducing evidence to prove the petitioner’s case.” In a Facebook post, Prof Asare said “Akuritingayine is no threat to the judiciary. The judiciary is its own worst enemy. It is its poorly-reasoned ruling, in cases such as Ayine v AG, its failure to assume jurisdiction in important constitutional cases and its inability to rule timeously on time-sensitive cases that expose it to charges of partisanship and that risks undermining the court’s stature as an independent, impartial arbiter of the law. “The way forward, therefore, is not to silence those who merely offer their opinions, which the Constitution allows them to do. “The way forward is for the judges to truly and faithfully perform their functions without fear or favour, affection or ill-will, and to at all times uphold, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. “No criticisms directed at them will be taken seriously if they perform their functions as stated above. “Conversely, no amount of contempt trials or disciplinary actions will save them from credible charges of partisanship if they continue to issue unreasonable judgments. Ghanafuo did not fight the AK 47 only to be silenced by the gavel.” Executive Director of the Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) Professor H Kwesi Prempeh also described the action taken by the Chief Justice as bizarre, and ill-advised. Professor Prempeh also in a Facebook post said “That an opinion expressed at such a forum, to contestation from other participants, would cause anyone to lodge a formal complaint with the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council is unprecedented, bizarre, and ill-advised.” He added “So, now members of the Ghana Bar cannot offer a personal unflattering opinion of the judiciary on an academic, a civil society or other public discussion platfrom, even after a case has been decided, without risking being hauled before the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council? Really? “On the same platform where this lawyer expressed the opinion that has earned him an invitation to appear before the Disciplinary Committee of the legal profession’s regulator, other panelists, including other lawyers, strongly disagreed with him in his opinion of the judiciary regarding the case under discussion, with some praising the court’s handling of the matter. In other words, the platform on which the lawyer spoke was a veritable marketplace of ideas and opinion, with panelists debating each other in frank, open dialogue. “This, incidentally, was a webinar discussion organized by CDD-Ghana, in collaboration with the KNUST law faculty, as part of a new “Judicial Review” series (a partnership between CDD and two law faculties in Ghana) that aims to review and examine decisions of the courts for their impact on democracy and good governance. This particular panel, which examined the recent Ghana election petition through a comparative lens, featured two foreign participants (from Kenya and Zimbabwe), four Ghanaian lawyers, and me. “That an opinion expressed at such a forum, to contestation from other participants, would cause anyone to lodge a formal complaint with the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council is unprecedented, bizarre, and ill-advised. Not only is this bound to have a chilling effect on the free speech rights of lawyers, it will also impact negatively on both academic freedom and the freedom and ability of civil society to promote judicial accountability, including through projects like the Judicial Review series. I find no justification whatsoever for the Disciplinary Committee of the GLC to be brought into this matter or to investigate Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine for the opinion he expressed on the panel. It cannot be ok for a lawyer to praise a court for its handling of a matter but an act of professional misconduct–or contempt of court–for another lawyer to express a contrary view of the same court about the same matter.” 3news Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

#FixTheCountry movement threatens legal action against Police
Leadership of pressure group #FixTheCountry movement has threatened to take legal action against the Ghana Police Service over harassment and the physical abuse of unarmed civilians. The group thronged the court complex in solidarity with members who were subpoenaed from TUC to court premises Friday morning. The police however, prevented protestors from entering the court premises en masse. This led to a clash between the Police and the protestors. Greater Accra Regional Police commander in charge of operations, ACP Kwesi Ofori told Class News that security forces were only taking measures to prevent disorder on the court premises. “My commanders indicated that this is a court premises. People should not come en masse and that individually, they can come into the court. The Police are here to provide adequate security for the court building and all the other courts therein. So coming en masse with placards, flags and other paraphenalia among other things, may mar the beauty and ethics of the court. In view of this, my men on the ground decided, among other things, they could leave the flags and also limit that militancy and go into the court as individuals,” he explained. Meanwhile, some of the #FixTheCountry protestors have hinted their lawyers will take up a charge of harassment against the Police. The case has been adjourned to 14 June 2021.

“Mind-boggling” petition against Dr. Ayine by CJ–Sammy Gyamfi
Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that democracy is allowed for every institution in a state to be subject to scrutiny and criticism. According to him, the Chief Justice’s petition to the General Legal Council against former deputy attorney general Dominic Ayine over his criticism of the conduct of the Bench during the hearing of the 2020 election petition, is very “mind-boggling” “In a democracy, every institution is subject to scrutiny and criticism, and the judiciary is no exception. Any attempt by the Judiciary to suppress dissent and victimize critical voices will be fiercely resisted”. “The comment in question is an opinion Dr. Ayine is entitled to, and does not impugn the sanctity of the judiciary in any way. That, such a harmless comment will warrant Dr. Ayine’s referral to the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council by the Chief Justice is mind-boggling”.

Election petition: CJ hauls Ayine to GLC for ‘disparaging comments’ about SC’s conduct
Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah has hauled former deputy Attorney General Dominic Ayine to the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council and petition the body to cause a probe to be conducted into some “disparaging comments” made by the main opposition National Democratic Congress MP. The CJ’s complaint concerns some comments made by Dr Ayine regarding the posture of the Supreme Court during the hearing of the 2021 election petition which affirmed President Nana Akufo-Addo’s victory. The Bolgatanga East MP, according to the petition addressed to the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council, is claimed to have said during a panel discussion on ‘Presidential Election Petitions and their Impact on Africa’s Democracy that: “The Supreme Court’s failure to apply the rules of procedures as well as the consistent and continuous dismissal of the petitioners’ applications or reliefs, were the basis of his assertion”. The Chief Justice complained of similar ‘scandalous’ statements made by Dr Ayine during the hearing of the election petition for which he apologised “profusely” because they were “unbecoming of a lawyer of his standing” and also as a former deputy attorney general.” The CJ, therefore, according to the letter, “finds his alleged disparaging comments totally unacceptable and would like you to investigate this matter further”. Positing his views on the matter, Prof Stephen Kweku Asare, a D&D Fellow in Public Law and Justice at CDD-Ghana, said: “The Danquah Institute organised a workshop on the 2012 election petition where speakers such as Sam Okudzeto, Professor Frimpong etc., discussed and criticised the judgment. I supported the Institute in doing so then and still do”. “I wrote many commentaries criticising the judgments, including the contempt proceedings even while the trial was still ongoing, incurring the displeasure of Justice Atuguba”, the KPMG Professor in accounting at the Fisher School of Accounting noted. “Others, many lawyers included, openly and vigorously questioned aspects of the judgments and raised issues about the independence of the judiciary. “Nobody, to my knowledge, was referred to the GLC for investigation. And that is right. The judiciary is an arm of government and is not immune from scrutiny and accountability. “What then has changed for those who now raise similar questions, in the spirit of judicial scrutiny and accountability, to be referred to the GLC for investigation and potential disciplinary action? “And why are such referrals, coming as they are from the highest echelons of the judiciary, not publicised? Is the public not supposed to know? “We cannot be free to criticise the judiciary and be quiet when others are stopped from doing the same thing that we are allowed to do. “It does not matter whether we agree or disagree with the criticisms. The important thing is that people are free to criticise and those who disagree with the criticisms are also free to offer their opinions. “The needless effort to silence some people in this polity must stop immediately to save the judiciary from itself”, he said. He demanded “the immediate and unconditional cessation of any and all investigations commenced by the GLC following referrals made by the judicial secretary on commentaries made about the 2020 election petition”. Prof Asare also observed thus about Dr Ayine’s woes: “He shakes his head in court, he gets trouble. He speaks during the election petition, he gets trouble. He speaks at a workshop after the election petition, he gets trouble. Walahi, my V-mate, Dominic Akuritingayine, dey suffer! May Baaba Bacchus save him from this ordeal”.
