Tutuka residents suspend protest against Newmont after 3 days

Residents of the Tutuka enclave in the Asutifi North District have suspended their three-day protest against Newmont over unpaid resettlement money, following intervention by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.

The residents were demanding GHS 21 million from the gold mining company.

The Ministry, along with local chiefs, the Ahafo Regional Minister, and the District Chief Executive, assured the residents that they would engage Newmont's managers in Denver to secure the payment.

The protest leader, Nana Kwabena Amoateng, warned that the protest would resume if no satisfactory response is received within the promised timeframe.
