The Member of Parliament for Mampong and Minority Spokesperson on Lands and Natural Resources, Kweku Ampratwum-Sarpong, has acknowledged the competence of Ibrahim Mahama and his company, Engineers and Planners, in relation to ongoing discussions about the Damang Mines.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, he described Ibrahim Mahama as an experienced businessman with over 25 years in the industry, noting that he possesses the expertise and equipment required for large-scale mining operations.
According to him, the issue is not about capacity, as Engineers and Planners is well-positioned to undertake such a project.
“If the company goes through the right procedures and is duly assessed and approved based on merit, then there will be no problem with it taking over the Damang Mines,” he said.
However, he emphasised the need for transparency and strict adherence to due process, particularly in light of concerns raised by the Minority over a potential conflict of interest.
He pointed out that since Ibrahim Mahama is the brother of President John Dramani Mahama, it is important that the process remains open, fair, and free from any undue influence.
“As long as the appropriate procedures are followed and transparency is ensured, we will have no objection to Engineers and Planners operating the mine,” he stressed.
