Original Text
I want to tell you a story. My name is Chibeze Ezekiel and I work at the Strategic Youth Network for Development. In 2013, the government of my country, Ghana, began consultations to construct a coal plant, a 700-megawatt coal plant, meant to be sited at Ekumfi District, a coastal fishing community in the central region of Ghana. It would have required a 1.5-billion US dollar loan from the China African Development [Fund]. And because Ghana has no coal reserves, the project made a provision to import two million tons of coal annually from South Africa.
