Nana Bi-Kusi Appiah II Paramount Chief of Manso Aboaboso – my Chief of the year

Nana Bi-Kusi Appiah II is the kind of Chief that we need in Ghana, a Chief who fights for the posterity of Ghana. A chief that takes in injunction in  Constitution, Article 41 The exercise and enjoyment of rights and freedoms is inseparable from the performance of duties and obligations, and accordingly, it shall be the duty of every citizen – (k) to protect and safeguard the environment to heart.  We the Media Coalition Against Galamsey have committed in a Steering Committee meeting today the 12th of June 2018 to support any legal action that Nana will bring against any authority who will not act on the arrest made.  Otumfou Osei Tutu, please acknowledge and reward Nana Bi-Kusi Appiah, he is my reigning Chief of 2018.

Again see the Chinese involvement in this crime as well. We need to bring this to the attention of the Chinese government. We cannot allow your citizens to destroy our land. Read the story as captured by Ghanaian Times.

Six Chinese, who entered the Oda Forest Reserve in Manso Aboaboso in the Amansie South District of Ashanti, to carry out illegal mining (galamsey), d three Ghanaian have been arrested by the Operation Vanguard team.

The suspects, Qi Yang, 55, Qin Bu Gi, 48; Wan Ji Li, 42; Wei An, 37, Wei Li, 37, and Qui Wann, 36, allegedly destroyed large tracts of forest in spite of government’s ban on illegal mining.

The arrest followed a report made by paramount chief of the area, Nana Bi-Kusi Appiah, to the Operation Vanguard taskforce.

The team also impounded six excavators, three gas cylinders, three mobile handsets, two generators and a locally manufactured gun.

The suspects are in police custody at Manso Datano, since their arrest last Monday, while the excavators have been sent to the Manso Nkwanta District Assembly.

Nana Bi-Kusi Appiah in an interview with the Ghanaian Times, said that if the authorities (the appropriate ministries) fail to prosecute the case “I will take them to court in view of the massive destruction of the forest”, adding that “I came to meet the forest in its virgin state, and l will never allow it to be depleted by illegal miners.”
