Dr Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei, Administrator of the Minerals Development Fund (MDF), has expressed grave concern following the disappearance of 33 excavators that were in police custody after an anti-galamsey operation.
According to her, 40 excavators were handed over to the police for safekeeping because there were no lowbed vehicles available to transport the equipment from the galamsey sites.
However, speaking in an interview on Adom FM, Dr Bissiw-Kotei, who also serves as the National Women's Organiser of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), disclosed that only seven excavators remained when her team returned the following morning. "We handed over 40 excavators to the police, but when we returned the next morning, only seven were left.
I spoke with the Police Commander about the incident because I was unhappy with it.
