The Aowin Traditional Council is accusing its Member of Parliament, Oscar Ofori Larbi, of being involved in illegal mining operations in the Tano Anwia Forest Reserve.
It has called on all stakeholders to collaborate to stop the destruction of the Forest.
This call to action comes after a deadly clash between two illegal mining groups, which resulted in two fatalities and several injuries.
The Aowin Traditional Council on January 27 held a news conference urging Lands and Natural Resources Minister- designate, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah to protect the Tano Anwia Forest Reserve, which has been infiltrated by illegal miners despite a ban on such activities by the traditional council.
