“As a mining organisation, we believe in making the communities that we work in better. We were able to restart the Obuasi mine partly because of the support given to us by our stakeholders over the years. We will, therefore, continue to build partnerships with our stakeholders and to support them whenever they need us, just as they support us when we need them,” she noted.

Augment existing computers

Receiving the donated items on behalf of the military, the Chief of Staff at the General Headquarters of the GAF, Major General Thomas Oppong Peprah, said the items for the Department of Legal Services were very crucial because the department was expanding and needed them to augment its existing computers and air conditioners.
