The Akrofuom District Assembly on Thursday, May 7, 2026, held its First Ordinary Meeting of the Third Session of the Third Assembly to deliberate on key developmental issues affecting the district.
The meeting brought together Assembly Members, Heads of Departments, and Units of the Assembly to discuss matters relating to health, education, sanitation, agriculture, roads, electrification, and the local economy.
A major highlight of the meeting was a presentation by representatives of Asante Gold Mine Kubi regarding the company’s operations and engagement with the people of Kubi.
The Community Relations Officer of Asante Gold Mine, Mr. Lawrence Asante, assured members that the company is engaging all relevant stakeholders to ensure that individuals whose livelihoods may be affected by the company’s activities are adequately compensated.
