Mass Arrests by Special Prosecutor: Akufo-Addo’s Galamsey Ministers and dozens of NPP Galamsey Kingpins arrested, more to follow… – An Opinion

The Special Prosecutor targeted for arrest entire Akufo Addo Interministerial Committee on Illegal Mining comprising Ministers [IMCIM] of the following ministries;

Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI), Lands and Natural Resources (MLNR), Local Government and Rural Development (MLGRD), Chieftaincy & Religious Affairs, Regional Re-Organisation and Development, Monitoring and Evaluation, Water and Sanitation, Interior, Defense and Information.

Each of the ten (10) Ministers including some former Ministers was invited by the Special Prosecutor, arrested, interrogated and bailed.

The Special Prosecutor announced on national television that Prof. Frimpong-Boateng was not the only target but the entire membership of the Akufo-Addo Cabinet Interministerial Committee on Illegal Mining.

The Special Prosecutor confirmed that others including officials of the Jubilee House and NPP functionaries involved in Galamsey or named in the controversial IMCIM Galamsey Report as part of the ongoing investigation have already been or are soon to be arrested, interrogated and bailed.

The Special Prosecutor said that those arrested are in the tens whiles those yet to be arrested are in the hundreds.

Ghanaians want the identities of the suspects disclosed as many including Lawyer Ayikoi Otoo believe that it is a diversionary tactics to scapegoat some while shielding others.

The timing of the arrest of Prof. Frimpong-Boateng by the Special Prosecutor a day after he was sued by Gabby Asare Ochere-Darko, a close friend of the Special Prosecutor and a nephew of President Akufo-Addo who he named in the IMCIM Galamsey Report is very worrisome.

Many Ghanaians want to know if Gabby Asare Ochere-Darko has also been arrested, interrogated and bailed.

Ghanaians are angry about President Akufo-Addo’s clearing of Akonta Mining in the Galamsey in forest reserves and destruction of rivers and farmlands.

Ghanaians are wondering if the NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman Wuntumi who owns Akonta Mining has been arrested, interrogated and bailed.

Ghanaian expect that the notorious Landguard Clemence Gyato who has publicly claimed the Lands Minister contracted him to keep the Galamsey Excavators at the Adenta Civil Aviation Lands must be arrested, interrogated and bailed…

Ghanaians are resolved to be Citizens and not Spectators in the fight against Galamsey, Corruption, Money Laundering and Land Looting which have become synonymous with the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government’s tenure of office.

Parliament is poised to begin its public hearings into the Galamsey and other Corruption related Scandals; which are to be telecast live on Television and Radio so Ghanaians can see feeli-feeli.

STAY TUNED.
