The Asantehene, Otumfour Osei Tutu II, has painfully said he is not happy with his chiefs in the Amansie area where illegal mining or galamsey has taken over landscape.
According to him, his chiefs no he has been seriously speaking about it and he is never happy with them.
“I have been saying to them that, if you sit there and you claim that you don’t know what is happening (the galamsey activities) in your area, then you are fit to be a chief in that area. And I don’t care whose gods is it because we have to enforce it” Otumfour added.
He made this revelation at the launching of the 2023 Green Ghana Day in Kumasi.
The Asante king, also added that as he is got to deal with his chiefs, it is up to the government to also deal with the other ones. We all have to take matters seriously to bring this to a closure.
“I am going to take a drive around those areas, in the Amansie and Manso Nkwanta because I have gotten report on what is happening there and if I finish with that, all the chiefs around that area may have to answer as to why that’s happened there.” Asantehene said.
