The 2015 Stability Agreement signed between the Government of Ghana and Goldfields was supposed to be a turning point for Damang—an agreement in exchange for tax reliefs and regulatory concessions, with promises of roads, hospitals, and jobs.
“But almost none of those promises were fulfilled,” said Alex K. Aidoo.
“They tiled less than one kilometer of road, renovated an existing clinic instead of building a hospital, and the water supply project only began in February 2025—weeks before the lease expiry. That was a smokescreen.”
The youth argue that Goldfields should be held accountable for violating the spirit and letter of that agreement.
They demand a full audit into the company’s community investments over the last three decades.
“The lease might be over, but the consequences of neglect remain,” Aidoo said. “There must be transparency and accountability.”
