IMANI Africa's Franklin Cudjoe is of the view that the Interior Minister, Mubarak Muntaka may have been influenced by the fact that a foreigner supposedly died while in custody to decide on deporting foreign nationals arrested for illegal mining in Ghana.
In a Facebook post, he acknowledged that there certainly should not be a different set of rules for dealing with Ghanaians and a different set for dealing with foreigners.
However, some developments in the past may have influenced the decision to deport them rather than prosecute and jail them in Ghana.
Which law says when foreigners are caught engaging in Galamsey they should be deported immediately?
