A Deputy Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Benito Owusu-Bio has admonished former President John Dramani Mahama for his promise to free all jailed illegal miners.
In the first place according to Mr Owusu, nobody has been jailed for Mahama to come and release them.
Looking at the calibre of person Mahama is, he said, he shouldn’t be making such promises because he is expected to know better.
“It is an embarrassment because of the person this particular promise is coming from. Currently, he is promising heaven and earth. I know that he will not even win the election. He is promising something that he cannot do. He should tell us how many people have been put behind bars,” Mr Owusu told Citi News.
“Even when we increased the punitive measures, no one was jailed. So I am surprised about what he is talking about. Let him come out and tell us the number of people that were jailed. He is just promising and lying to appeal to the public for votes,” he added.
