Adansihene denies allegations he is neck-deep in galamsey

 

Adansiman Progressive Association (APA), a pro-development group aimed at driving home infrastructure for the well-being of locals within the Adansi enclave, has accused the Paramount Chief of involvement in galamsey.

The group says its claims are pivoted on the current state of water bodies in Adansi as it explains the major river that serves as the only source of water for people of Adansi, River Gyemi, has now been destroyed.

This situation, the group fears, could lead to a looming acute water crisis.

Speaking on Akoma FM‘s current affairs and political show GhanAkoma on Thursday, May 20, Organiser for APA Akwasi Aboagye told host of the show that “our investigation and series of checks have revealed that Adansimanhene Opegya Kotwere Bonsrah Afiyie II is neck-deep in the very menace Otumfuo and President Nana Akufo-Addo have been preaching against”.

He further indicated that “on March 22, a team of police together with section of the Adansi Progressive Association arrested some artisans at a mining site”.

“After the arrest, the miners alleged that the site they are working belongs to Adansimanhene. Aside that incident, we have factual proof that point fingers at the Omanhene for his involvement in galamsey. So we will call on the Overlord of Ashanti Kingdom Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to swiftly intervene and save the water bodies in Adansi and its adjoining communities.”

Meanwhile, Adansimanhene Opegya Kotwere Bonsrah Afiyie II has refuted the allegations.

He made this clear at a press conference at the his palace in Fomena.

Public interest advocate Frank Aboagye Danyansah, who is also a native of Adansi, has also shot down the allegations.

He goes on to allege that the convener of APA, Akwasi Aboagye, is alien and should not be taken seriously.

Mr Danyansah explained that “I am not sure this so-called Akwasi Aboagye is a true native of Adansi because he won’t have tarnished the image of his paramount chief. Again, he is even an embattled member of the Adansi Progressive Association because the executives have expelled him on grounds of extortion and impersonation, a man without credibility. Why must you even give him such a big platform to perpetrate lies?” he quizzed.

Mr Aboagye Danyansah urged the public to disregard the palpable lies of Akwasi Aboagye and treat it with the contempt it deserves because Adansimanhene is a true patriot who wouldn’t go against the orders of Asantehene and the president.

Galamsey fight should be within the law – Yao Graham

 Coordinator of the Third World Network (TWN) Dr. Yao Graham, has questioned government on the rules of engagement in the crusade against illegal small-scale mining(galamsey), saying it is not an armed conflict in the way that the rules of engagement in war is for the soldiers to kill anyone they see on site.

He said this in an interview with Komla Adom on the Mid Day News on TV3, Thursday, May 20.

Dr. Graham was speaking on the back of the statement by the Minister of Defence that the safety of the perpetrators of illegal small-scale mining cannot be guaranteed in their engagement with the Task Force mandated to fight the canker in the country. And also the destruction of excavators seized on site by the security officials involved in the crusade against illegal small-scale mining.

He said “the campaign against galamsey is not an armed conflict in the way that the country’s border is being threatened and therefore the rules of engagement that the soldiers should operate under are to kill any enemy force that is crossing the boundary. So one of the questions that arises for me, in relation to the minister’s pronouncement that people’s safety cannot be guaranteed is, what are the rules of engagement? Is it that the military are empowered to shoot anybody they see on site at night because there is a fear that the people are armed? Do we know if they are armed?

“These are all questions that people should be interested in, all of us are interested in the security and safety of our water bodies. I think it is very, very important that we keep this thing within the parameters of the law so the approach to dealing with galamsey can be differentiated from how lynch mobs operate”.

When asked if according to the interpretation of the law of the Minerals and Mining(Amendment Act 2020) LI 2404, anybody can challenge the Ministries of Lands and Forestry and Defence in court for unlawful destruction of properties, he responded that “the best interpretation of the law routinely is the common sense interpretation, so there is no ambiguity in this provision. And I think the first people with the responsibility to uphold the constitution and the law are the officers of the republic, ministers, public servants, public employees of various organizations, including the military”.

According to his assessment of the operation to end the activities of illegal small-scale mining, he applauded the hierarchy of priorities that has been created in the operational apparatus. However, he said “beyond sending the troops in to clear the water bodies, we need to have a sustainable approach to keep the water bodies clean because the troops will not be there always, therefore how do we build a constituency based on consensus? The pronouncement made by the Small Scale Miners Association complaining about basically a misdirected application of force points to some of the challenges to be addressed”.

NDC shoots down all EC’s proposed reforms May 20, 2021

 The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has punched holes into all the proposed electoral reforms by the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC), calling them a “sham”.

At a press conference addressed by the party’s Director of Elections Elvis Afriyie Ankrah on Thursday, May 20, the party subjected all the four reforms to scrutiny and called for wider consultations.

The Commission on Tuesday, May 18 after a two-day workshop of the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) announced reforms agreed upon by stakeholders.

The first is to close polls at 3:00pm instead of the usual 5:00pm.

The Commission, secondly, wants an all-round system where citizens who turn 18, or persons who have not previously registered, may visit any district office with their Ghana Card or passport and register as voters instead of the system of periodic nationwide registration.

“This will help us do away with nationwide registration exercises and go a long way to reducing cost of elections,” the Chair of the Commission, Jean Mensa, added at the press conference.

The Commission also wants an all-year round exhibition exercise through smart phones and other mobile devices by texting to a short code.

Lastly, the EC wants collation done only at the constituency level and transmitted to the regional and national level.

“By adopting this system, the problem of minor inaccuracies with the collation process and unnecessary delays will be reduced significantly,” Mrs Mensa said.

But Mr Afriyie Ankrah said any move to implement reforms ahead of the 2024 elections must begin with the Commission itself.

He said the Commissioners must first of all purge themselves of all the wrong doing which characterised the 2020 elections.

On the first proposal about the poll closing time, for instance, the NDC said it is needless and only going to create chaos.

On the last proposal, Mr Afriyie Ankrah said: “The proposal to have the entry point of data done only at Constituency Collation Centres will introduce another set of opportunities for rigging and manipulation of the election through hacking and other means.

“The way to build further efficiencies into the collation process and eliminate minor inaccuracies is to hire and train competent EC staff to ensure accurate data entry and collation and not to throw away the time-tested practice of collation at the national level.”

He concluded that the EC can never undertake reforms without considering the views of the NDC.

To this end, the former Youth and Sports Minister described all that has been put in the public domain by the EC as a “sham”.

“What is going on in this country is frightening. The EC is the institution that is supposed to ensure that the laws governing political parties are obeyed. So for purposes of achieving whatever agenda, entities that they know will ordinarily not qualify to be political parties they recruit and mobilise and bring them and they all say ‘We agree, We agree’ and they sign. And the NDC which is the biggest opposition party, we are wiped. Is this for real?”

The Assembly member for Gauso East electoral area Hon. Dauda Tahiru has presented GH10,000 worth of shoes to pupils of the Saqquafiya M/A JHS .

Dauda Tahiru, the Assembly member for the Gauso East Electoral Area in the Obuasi Municipality, has donated a GH¢10,000 worth of shoes to pupils of the Saqquafiya Islamic School, the only Islamic school in Obuasi.

Presenting the items to the school, Mr Tahiru, who is also the CEO of YAA-LATIF Engineering, said the donation forms part of his personal commitment to enhance teaching and learning in the school and motivate other stakeholders to contribute to the development of the school.

He advised the school children to learn hard to obtain higher grades to encourage other benevolent persons to assist them to improve on their education and become responsible adults in society.

Himself an old student of the school, Mr Tahiru appealed to parents to prioritize the education of their wards and implored other stakeholders especially the Islamic community to come to the aid of the school.

The Assistant Headteacher of the School, Owusu Boateng, who received the items on behalf of the school, expressed gratitude to Dauda Tahiru and pleaded with other well-meaning Ghanaians and non-governmental organisations to come to the aid of the school.

The headteacher asked parents to guide their children once they come home from school and not engage them in trading and other jobs.

He also appealed to government to extend the Ghana School Feeding Programme to the Saqquafiya School.

“Due to the absence of school feeding in our school, we have lost most of our children to other schools who enjoy school feeding. This has really affected enrolment in Saqquafiya. We need government to intervene.”
