Former Central Regional Minister, Kwamena Duncan has expressed disappointment in some comments made by Charles Bissue, the former Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM).
Charles Bissue in response to Prof Frimpong-Boateng alleged that his (Frimpong-Boateng’s) associates were also engaging in galamsey.
"I am also disappointed in Prof Frimpong-Boateng to the extent that he has people around him who were doing the same thing [illegal mining],” he said.
However, Kwamena Duncan believes his comment will rather "deepen the suspicion".
The former Minister who was speaking to Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' said: "I'm disappointed, disappointed. There are matters on the table where your Chairman has made some accusations against some persons and they need the space to also respond appropriately . . . by this pronouncement, you deepen the suspicion".
