The Chamber of Bullion traders Ghana{CBTG} has in the wake of the tragic helicopter crash that took the lives of eight gallant men issued a statement to commiserate with the family of these hereos of our land.
Below is the full text issued under the hand of the Chamber”s Ghairman Mr. Kwaku Effah Asuahene:
With profound sorrow and deep respect, the Chamber of Bullion Traders Ghana (CBTG) joins the nation in mourning the tragic loss of eight distinguished Ghanaians who perished in the Ghana Air Force helicopter crash last Wednesday.
These gallant men, eminent statesmen, dedicated public servants, and brave military officers gave their lives in the line of duty, working to safeguard our natural resources and protect the future of our beloved Ghana. On their mission to restructure or combat illegal mining was not only an act of service to the nation but also an act of service to generations yet unborn.
As stakeholders in Ghana’s precious minerals sector, we in the CBTG are acutely aware of the dangers posed by illegal mining to our environment, our communities, and our national reputation. We therefore hold in the highest esteem the courage and commitment these men displayed in their attempt to tackle this challenge head-on but unfortunately they had to pay the ultimate price for that duty.
The CBTG extends our deepest condolences to the bereaved families, the Government and people of Ghana, the Ghana Armed Forces, and all institutions that have lost valued members. In this dark hour, we stand in solidarity with you, offering our prayers, support, and heartfelt sympathy.
May the sacrifice of these gallant sons of Ghana never be forgotten. May their example inspire renewed unity and resolve in the fight against all threats to our nation’s well-being. And may their souls rest in perfect and eternal peace.
Signed,
The Chairman,
Mr. Kwaku Effah Asuahene
