Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, President of the National House of Chiefs has debunked accusations that he supports illegal mining activities, commonly known as galamsey.
The denial follows reports attributed to him in a speech delivered at Bibiani.
A statement issued on September 24, 2024, by Nana Bonya III, the Atipimhene (sub-chief) of Sefwi Anhwiaso Traditional Council, said the publications against Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II of opposing the ban on illegal mining activities, was unfounded and false.
He said the address delivered by Ogyeahoho Gyebi during the commissioning of the Minerals Commission's district office at Bibiani last Wednesday, had been misinterpreted by a section of journalists and condemned those behind the false claims.
