Sharing his views on the ongoing standoff between Akonta Mining and the minister, stated that the issue at hand is not insurmountable.

He noted that the company has the option to challenge the legality of the minister's revocation of their licence in court, should they believe the decision was taken unjustly. "… I have seen Akonta Mining Company's statement refuting the minister's remarks and claiming their innocence.
