    This guy should be careful, else?... I fear for him ooo...hmmm

  • Atta Kay 1 year ago

    NDC is doing this to distract our attention from the poor performance of John Mahama in handling Galamsey. They can't send him to jail bcoz there are ppl closer to Mahama also doing Galamsey. Ibrahim could be a suspect.

    Chairman Wontumi needs to be very careful because this can be a Felony. In Uncle Sam’s country, if he is found guilty of the crime, apart from the fine, his properties will be confiscated and will certainly spend a good tim ...

    This government is a disgrace to Ghana; instead of going after those mining and destroying water bodies you’re wasting time on mining without license. Foolishness “paa nie”!!!

    WHY IS IT THAT SOME OF YOU DONT READ AND UNDERSTAND THE STORY AND ARE QUICK TO SPEW TRASH.? HE OWNS AKONTA MINING AND HE OPERATED WITHOUT A LICENSE AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES.

  • Kelvin Taylor NDC propaganda secretary. 1 year ago

    If this is not POLITICAL WITCH-HUNT then what else???. You deliberately withdrawn his mining license and then turn around to charge him for mining without a licence. Eeei JDM hmmmmm.

  • Comrade Nguyen Van Theo 1 year ago

    Pls remember when the former minister of lands accused Akonta mining company of mining in a forest reserve without licence?. That was during the NPP regime, though he was later on exonerated by the then president.

  • Dungeon Master 1 year ago

    It amazes me how Ghanaians like to copy everything the West does, including verbiage. Do you know what witch-hunting is?
