Newmont Goldcorp Ghana’s Akyem Mine has donated a Toyota Hilux to the Birim North District Security Council (DISEC) to increase patrols on the major roads linking New Abirem to other major towns where armed robbery is rampant.
This is the
third time the Akyem Mine has donated a vehicle to the DISEC to enhance its work.
At a brief
ceremony at New Abirem, Senior Manager for Sustainability and External
Relations at Newmont Goldcorp’s Akyem Mine, Felix Apoh, underscored the
importance of peace and security to the district’s development.
“This district
requires peace and security to develop to its full potential. We believe
supporting peace and security is not only right but also critical to our business
and our commitment to creating sustainable economic development in our host
communities.”
Mr. Apoh acknowledged
the efforts of the Ghana Police Service and was hopeful the vehicle would help
them in their work to provide adequate security for the people.
Receiving the
vehicle on behalf of the DISEC, Birim North District Chief Executive (DCE), Nana
Raymond Damptey, commended the Akyem Mine for fulfilling its promise to support
DISEC’s security efforts.
The company previously
constructed the Birim North District Police Office, a police transit quarters
and resourced community watchdog groups in nine towns in the district.
Mr. Apoh said these
gestures reinforced Newmont’s commitment to its safety value and ensuring
security in its operational areas.
Over the past
three years, the Birim North District has seen an upsurge in highway robbery.
According to the Birim North District Security Council (DISEC), the development has been challenging to manage because of mobility constraints.
