In the wake of the crusade against illegal mining (galamsey) resulting in the burning of excavators, Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu is demanding that the Attorney General and Minister for Justice be summoned before the House.
According to him he has gone through media reports on president Nana Akufo-Addo’s comments on the burning of excavators, in accordance with Article 88 of the 1992 constitution, as the AG is the principal adviser to the government.
“Why the president should not be held in check on the breach of the laws of Ghana, as the president said some evidence and materials must be provided that burning of excavators is sanction by the laws of Ghana”.
He further pointed out that, he wants the president to lead Ghana by going by his oath of office to uphold the constitution of Ghana and hold himself accountable to the laws of Ghana.
“No laws in Ghana today permits the burning of excavators, and we want this to be put on record”.
The Minority Leader made his point on the floor of the House after the Business Statement was presented on the floor of the House on Friday, May 28, 2021.
