Former Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining, Charles Bissue has alleged that \u2018galamsey\u2019 queen, Aisha Huang, was pardoned on three occasions under the NDC administration.<\/p>\n
Mr. Bissue in an interview on The Pulse<\/strong>, Thursday, noted that, unlike the NDC, in the NPP administration, about four excavators belonging to Aisha Huang have been confiscated.<\/p>\n \u201cSo the time that the NDC were in power, I heard that Aisha Huang was arrested three times and she was left off the hook and at the time of the NPP, the team that I led arrested about three or four excavators around the Potsin and Amansie areas thereabouts and we confiscated them\u2026The intelligence we got was that the excavators belonged to her [Aisha Huang],\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n According to Mr. Bissue, in 2018 when the Chinese national was deported, he received intelligence that she had maneuvered her way into the country. He said he quickly alerted the security agencies but Aisha Huang absconded just when she was about to be arrested.<\/p>\n The Presidential Staffer was reacting to claims by the NDC during their press conference on Thursday that Aisha Huang is a financier of the NPP.<\/p>\n \u201cIf she\u2019s not a financier of the NPP, I wonder how somebody who is supposed to have been deported, and the [former] Senior Minister\u2026 Osafo Maafo, say that she has been deported\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAll of a sudden the President is playing dumb and saying that he doesn\u2019t know that the woman has been deported, and I think is becoming one too many and becoming a worrying trend,\u201d\u00a0NDC Deputy General Secretary, Dr. Peter Boamah Otukonor told the media.<\/p>\n But Charles Bissue has fought off the NDC\u2019s claim. He noted that his party would not have attempted to apprehend Aisha Huang if indeed she is a financier of the party.<\/p>\n \u201cThe time that we actually were told she was deported, I remember when Ken Brant and Tiwaa then the CID boss, they reported to her that she had come back through Togo and Tiwaa was swift in dealing with the matter. I think she was about to be caught then she run out again\u2026she even left certain things, personal belongings.<\/p>\n \u201cSo when she came back if allegedly she was the financier of the NPP, first of all she would not have left the country\u2026so they must come up with evidence to say that she has given money to certain persons,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n The Presidential Staffer stressed that the opposition party\u2019s claim is \u201cmoot because the Attorney-General has come back to say that she is going to be prosecuted even for previous crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Aisha Huang has been remanded into police custody for the next two weeks as the Accra Circuit Court turned down her request for bail.<\/p>\n Her lawyer, however, disagreed with the court for refusing her bail request.<\/p>\n \u201cLet the law work. On the facts before you, I pray you admit each of them to bail. We know that if you admit them it doesn\u2019t mean they are innocent\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you grant bail today, it will mean the judiciary of Ghana is applying the laws. Don\u2019t look at them as Chinese. If you refuse to grant them bail, they will say the A-G\u2019s advice has been taken,\u201d Mr. Dartey pleaded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining, Charles Bissue has alleged that \u2018galamsey\u2019 queen, Aisha Huang, was pardoned on three occasions under the NDC administration.
