The Bono Regional Chairman of the (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has alleged that the Administrator of the Minerals Development Fund, Dr Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei, has been warned by her party the ruling (NDC) to stay away from her anti-illegal mining operations.
According to Abronye, the National Women's Organizer of the NDC has been given a clear ultimatum: either keep her job by ceasing her fight against illegal mining (galamsey) or risk losing her position entirely.
He claims that her ongoing efforts to clamp down on galamsey activities, particularly in forest reserves, fall outside her official responsibilities.
Abronye further stated that this alleged warning followed Dr Bisiw-Kotei's public disclosure that out of 40 excavators seized during her anti-galamsey operations, 33 went missing while in police custody.
