According to him, there is no law that backs the act and called out on the president to pinpoint a particular law in the country’s law codes and constitution. Some evidence or material must be provided to show that burning excavators is sanctioned by the laws of Ghana and I wait to see that law,” he said. Haruna Iddrisu, like many other critics, also bashed the president for asking complainers to go to court on the burning of excavators. Meanwhile, the burning of excavators has become the norm for the military and the team that is in charge of fighting against galamsey operations in the country. So far, about 8 out of the 11 excavators that were confiscated recently have been burnt into ashes by some military operatives.
