National Chairman of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), Nana Ofori Owusu says government must stop its community mining because, to him, it won't help the country. Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor offered community mining as a lasting solution to illegal mining in Ghana. Government introduced the Community Mining Scheme, a mining model, last year and it's aimed at creating jobs for beneficiary communities. As part of the scheme, the government gave the green light for the commencement of regulated and sustainable mining at Adomanu in the Ashanti Region under the Community Mining Scheme. The scheme is to create about 16,000 jobs nationwide.
