The Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Martin Kwaku Ayisi (Esq.), has proposed an amendment to the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703).
This proposal was made during an engagement on 19th June 2025, when Mr. Ayisi led the Review Committee of the 2014 Mining Policy to meet with the management of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC).
The Minerals Commission team included Board Chairman, Mr. William Ntow Boahene (Esq.); Professor Jerry Samuel Yaw Kuma, Technical Advisor to the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Ms. Victoria Awuni, Deputy CEO in charge of Policy Planning, Mineral Titles & Local Content; and other Review Committee members led by Mr. Benjamin Aryee, Former CEO of the Commission.
The Director General of NDPC, Dr. Audrey Smock Amoah, led the Commission’s management team in receiving and engaging with the Minerals Commission delegation.
During the meeting, Dr. Amoah and the NDPC technical team encouraged the review committee to align the structure of the revised policy with NDPC’s policy guidelines to ensure consistency with the Commission’s framework.
NDPC officials also urged the committee to incorporate a Strategic Implementation Plan and a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework to allow for regular feedback and future policy reviews.
In response, Mr. Ayisi requested that NDPC management submit detailed written proposals within two weeks for consideration by the review committee.
