Ghana is now a lawless state under this government – Kofi Bentil
AI summary
Vice President for Policy Think Tank Kofi Bentil, has expressed concerns over the lawlessness creeping into Ghanaian society.
According to him, it is worrying that state institutions are being used to perpetrate such lawlessness.
He was speaking on the takeover of the Nawara Mining concession by the state.
“Today we have a situation where state institutions, the Minerals Commission, the ministry and the military take the laws into their own hands, kill people, and take over their mines. Ghana is looking like a failed state,” he said.
He continued, “You go to the mine, shoot people dead, and give the place to the Chinese to mine.”
His worry was that the mine has been given to Chinese miners who have started clearing tree plantations and other vegetation in the area.
To him, the current Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Minerals Commission must go for the actions taken on Nawara Mining Company, considering the fact that his actions go against the government’s intention to give local control of the country’s mines.
