Leading member of the Movement for Change Party, Hopeson Adorye has expressed regret over supporting the NPP’s decision to block Ibrahim Mahama from mining bauxite in Atiwa, Eastern Region, years ago.
He revealed that the NPP’s opposition at the time was primarily driven by their political stance and dissatisfaction with an opponent’s close relative managing such a significant project.
As a result, a foreign entity was allowed to mine the bauxite instead, which has ultimately impacted the economy negatively by depreciating the cedi.
“I won’t exempt myself. I was involved. We criticized the initiative and refused to let him secure the contract. We questioned why it should be the president’s son. And now, look where it has brought us. Today, this is partly why our cedi has depreciated,” Hopeson Adorye revealed.
