加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 先生表示，其政府将对自然资源租赁续约采取更为强硬的态度，以增加加纳人的参与度，并让更多利益惠及受采矿影响的社区。
Mahama 总统于上周在加纳首都阿克拉举办的为期四天的部长级任命人员行政领导力项目开幕式上发表了上述言论。Mahama 总统澄清说，政府无意没收现有的特许权。相反，只要租赁期满需要续约，政府将争取更有利的条款以维护当地利益。“我们不会征用任何人的特许权或诸如此类的事情。” Mahama 总表示，“但只要租赁到期续约，我们就希望进行谈判，以确保有更多加纳人参与其中。”Mahama 总统对许多矿区周边社区恶劣的生活条件表示担忧，称几十年的开采未给当地居民带来实质性发展，这是不可接受的，“你去矿区看看，矿区周边的社区仍然深陷贫困之中。” “政府必须重建树下学校，修建卫生社区保健站，修复道路等等。而我们只有通过利用上帝赋予我们的自然资源才能做到这一点。”Mahama 政府将出台明确政策，支持当地更多参与资源开发。他补充说，在适当情况下，政府将推动对现有条款进行审查。“我们会将其形成法规。一旦有机会，我们就会重新谈判其中的一些事项，以便加纳人也能分享上帝赐予我们的这份福祉。” Mahama 总统说道。
President Mahama Pledges Tougher Lease Renewals to Boost Gains from Mining
President John Dramani Mahama has indicated that his administration will adopt a firmer approach to natural resource lease renewals in order to increase Ghanaian participation and direct more benefits to communities affected by mining.
He made these remarks in Accra on April 24, 2025, during the opening of a four-day Executive Leadership Programme for Ministerial Appointees at Ada.
Mr Mahama clarified that the government does not intend to seize existing concessions. Rather, it will seek improved terms for local interests whenever leases are due for renewal.
“We’re not going to expropriate anybody’s concession or anything,” he said. “But anytime a lease comes up for renewal, we would want to negotiate to see that there’s more Ghanaian participation.”
He expressed concern about the poor living conditions in many communities located near mining sites, saying it was unacceptable that decades of extraction had not translated into meaningful development for local residents.
“You go to the mining areas and look at the communities around the mining centres still steeped in poverty,” he said.
“The government has to replace schools under trees, build CHPS compounds, repair the roads and all that. And we can only do that if we can get the resources from the natural resource endowment that God has given us.”
Mr Mahama said his government would put in place a clear policy to support greater local involvement in resource exploitation. He added that, where appropriate, the government would push for a review of existing terms.
“We would codify it. And as and when the opportunity comes, we’ll renegotiate some of these things so that Ghanaians can also participate in the blessing that God gave us,” he stated.
