The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has refuted claims by the Member of Parliament for the North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, that daughters of the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo are involved in illegal mining or associated with a company engaged in such.
According to the Ministry, the said allegations were "palpably false and without merit" whatsoever.
