Scores of social media users have reacted to President Akufo-Addo\u2019s latest comments about the deportation of \u2018galamsey\u2019 kingpin, Aisha Huang.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Ho-based Stone City Radio on Monday, he said he is not sure whether Ms. Huang was deported or fled the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not still sure whether she was in fact deported. Or whether she fled the country the first time and has now come back. There still seems to be some uncertainty about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut whichever way it is, she\u2019s become the sort of nickname for all that galamsey represents\u201d, Akufo-Addo said.<\/p>\n

Following these remarks, some citizens have questioned the President\u2019s handling of national security briefings and other vital pieces of information.<\/p>\n

According to the critics, it is \u2018unfortunate\u2019 for the President to be in the dark about the movements of a woman who is perceived to be key in illegal mining activities in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Through posts on both Facebook and Twitter, the critics therefore urged the President to update himself on efforts regarding the fight against illegal mining.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the Senior Minister, Yaw Osafo Marfo (an appointee of the Prez. and an agent of the Gov\u2019t) justified the gov\u2019t decision to discontinue Aisha Huang\u2019s prosecution. He stated that the gov\u2019t had decided to rather deport her. Today, Prez Akufo-Addo says he\u2019s unsure.. pic.twitter.com\/Sn9RREpJOY<\/a><\/p>\n

Akufo-Addo says he isn\u2019t sure whether Aisha Huang was deported or fled the country. <\/p>\n

To say he\u2019s the worst President Ghana has ever had is even being charitable to him. Tueh!<\/p>\n

An excerpt of the President\u2019s interview where he mentioned his uncertainty about Aisha Huang\u2019s exit from the country, shows Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, visibly alarmed by the President\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

This, has also been widely criticised by some netizens.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah says the President\u2019s comments were not in bad taste.<\/p>\n

According to the Ofoase-Ayirebi MP, \u201cthe reason for the President\u2019s comments is that, there is a difference between deportation and repatriation\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a related development, the Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has expressed his resolve to prosecute notorious \u2018galamsey\u2019 poster girl, Aisha Huang for her past and recent crimes.<\/p>\n

He says his outfit will deal swiftly with the issue and bring Aisha and her collaborators to book.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
