Cardinal Namdini Mining Limited Faces Community Protest Over Neglect Claims in Talensi District
Residents of the Talensi District in the Upper East Region staged a protest at Cardinal Namdini Mining Limited, blocking access to the company's site. The demonstrators, primarily women and youth, accused the mining company of failing to improve local living conditions despite the area's rich gold deposits. They demanded the dismissal of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Kofi Adusei, citing the loss of shea trees and farmlands due to mining activities. The Executive Secretary of the Talensi Mining Communities Initiative, Gilbert Laamdolba, highlighted that many women have lost their primary income source from shea nut picking. The protesters called for the company to employ more local residents as compensation. In response, Kofi Adusei denied the neglect claims, stating the company is in its developmental stage and will fulfill its social responsibilities as production increases.
