A recent donation of 14,000 books by Cardinal Namdini, a gold mining company operating in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region, has sparked an unexpected wave of criticism. Apexnewsgh reports
The company’s gesture, aimed at supporting local education, has been met with disparaging comments from residents and well-meaning individuals from the region, who have labeled the donation as an “embarrassment.”
The criticism has been directed not only at the mining company but also at the media platform that reported the story. Many have questioned the media outlet’s decision to cover the donation, implying that they must have lacked more substantial news to report.
The donation ceremony, which was attended by the District Chief Executive, a Chief, and a Queen Mother, was captured in photos that showed the DCE smiling as they gratefully receiving the books from a Cardinal Namdini official.
This public display of appreciation contradicts the negative comments, which seem to be driven by an unrealistic expectation of what constitutes a worthy donation.
For Cardinal Namdini, the donation was a way to honor their corporate social responsibility initiatives in the area.
However, the media platform that reported the story was not spared from the criticism, with people questioning whether they lacked good news to report.
