The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abdulai Jinapor, has shot down claims that President Akufo-Addo was interfering with the fight against illegal mining.
The Minister posited that it would be scandalous for him to do that.
He made the remarks while addressing the media at the National Youth Conference on natural resources and environmental governance.
He was responding to the 37-page report compiled by Professor Kwabena-Frimpong-Boateng, the former Chairman of the Inter-ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), which made allegations against some appointees and other political figures.
“The President will not countenance interference in the galamsey fight,” he said.
“I have no moral right to pass judgement on my predecessors. The good people of Ghana are in a better position to judge and all stakeholders… I don’t want to be drawn into this”.
