Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Henry Ford Kamel, says his Ministry is fine-tuning existing legislations to make payment of royalties devoid of abuse.
According to him, many communities could have been better off if royalties accrued from extraction of natural resources in their area had been used properly.
Ford Kamel, who is also a Member of Parliament for Buem in the Volta Region, disclosed that payments will soon be published in the media to inject transparency into the process.
He said under the current legislation, 55 percent of royalties are paid to Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, 25 percent to Stools and 20 per cent to traditional areas.
