General News of Friday, 21 May 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comFollowing a news report by GhanaWeb titled, 'List of NPP bigwigs alleged to be galamsey kingpins', Kweku Asomah-Cheremeh, the former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, has issued a statement, denying ever being involved in galamsey. Earlier, GhanaWeb had reported that the allegation against the former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources was levelled by Kwabena Boaffoe Abronye, Bono Regional chairman of the NPP. But, in a letter from Henewaa Chambers, lawyers for the former minister, it stated emphatically that he has never engaged in galamsey (illegal mining) and owns no concession. “My client has never visited any galamsey site to take monies from illegal miners nor has he been arrested by any person or by Hon. They, therefore, added that it becomes unimaginable that their client will be dragged into such allegations, demanding a retraction.
