Ghana's Extractive Sector Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) has urged Parliament to summon state agencies over delays in disbursing mineral royalties to mining host communities. The group said the delays were stalling development projects, disrupting local planning, and undermining the objectives of the Minerals Development Fund Act. He attributed the persistent delays to weak oversight, saying Parliament should ensure compliance with the Minerals Development Fund Act, 2016 (Act 912), by holding state institutions accountable for the timely release of approved funds. He said GHEITI advocacy had contributed to reforms, including changes to the mineral royalty regime and the institutionalisation of subnational royalty transfers through the Minerals Development Fund to enable mining communities to benefit more directly from mineral resources. He called for stronger institutional collaboration and improved data management to enhance transparency and ensure that resource revenues translated into tangible benefits for mining communities.
