The campaign team for Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, under the “Bawumia for President Campaign” has named George Mireku Duker, Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, as the Campaign Coordinator for mining communities.
This appointment was announced in a statement signed by Vice Campaign Chairman Fred Oware.
Duker, who is also the Member of Parliament for Tarkwa Nsuaem, is said to have been chosen for his extensive experience and deep understanding of the mining sector.
In the statement, his responsibilities are said to include:
1. Overseeing campaign activities in mining areas
2. Communicating Dr. Bawumia’s mining policies to stakeholders
3. Securing support in mining constituencies
4. Helping to win votes and parliamentary seats in mining-heavy areas
Meanwhile, Some Ghanaians have questioned the timing and motives behind this appointment, criticizing it as a political manoeuvre. They argue that the current administration has not effectively addressed mining-related issues during their two terms in power, and see this appointment as an attempt to gain votes rather than implement meaningful change.
The campaign’s decision has sparked debate about the intersection of politics and policy in Ghana’s mining sector, with some viewing it as a strategic move and others as “politricks” aimed at electoral gain.
This appointment has drawn criticism from some Ghanaians, who question its credibility and timing. Critics argue that the current administration, of which Bawumia is a part, has failed to effectively address mining-related issues during their two terms in power. They view this as a calculated political move rather than a genuine commitment to reform.
The decision to appoint Duker at this juncture, they contend, appears to be an attempt to court votes from mining areas, describing it as “politricks” – political manoeuvring aimed at electoral gain rather than substantive policy change.
