Aisha Huang will be convicted and thrown in Ghanaian jail – Lands Minister
Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor has assured that ‘Galamsey’ queen Aisha Huang will be convicted and imprisoned in a Ghana jail if found guilty of the charges against her.
Samuel Jinapor said this would be possible due to the government’s legislation and policy intervention such as Act 559 which has been amended to proffer stiffer punishment to persons found guilty of illegal mining.
The Minister while speaking to journalists in Accra said per facts in his possession, he is convinced Aisha Huang is guilty of the charges proffered against her.
“Aisha Huang has been arrested, she is being prosecuted and she will be prosecuted under Ghanaian law in Ghanaian court if she is found guilty which I believe she should be found and I think I am not making prejudicial comments but I am saying that given the fact that I have, I am expecting that Aisha Huang will be found guilty, convicted and sentenced and thrown into Ghanaian jail,” he said.
According to Samuel Abu Jinapor, the fight against ‘galamsey’ does not focus on Aisha Huang as it is been projected.
He said other 154 persons of different nationalities have also been arrested which is a testimony to the government’s fight against the menace.
The Chinese national who is set to reappear in court on September 27 was accused of engaging in mining without a license after she was re-arrested in Ghana some weeks ago.
This was after she was deported back in 2018 over a similar incident.
