The Adhoc Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining has dismissed allegations made by the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Mr. Kwame Baffoe, claiming that the leadership of Organised Labour demanded money to call off its planned strike.<\/p>\n
The committee described these accusations as \u201cbaseless and unfounded.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a press statement released on Thursday, September 19, 2024, and signed by the Committee\u2019s Chairman and Minister for National Security, Albert Kan-Dapaah, the committee urged the public to disregard such claims, emphasising that no financial requests were made during its engagement with the Organised Labour leaders.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Committee hereby calls on the public to disregard the claims as same are baseless and unfounded. No such demand has been made and no such payment has been made either,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
According to the committee, the discussions with Organised Labour were held in good faith, without any inducements.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe engagement between the Committee and Organised Labour was held in good faith and without inducement,\u201d Hon. Kan-Dapaah assured.<\/p>\n
The Adhoc Ministerial Committee, tasked with fighting illegal and irresponsible mining, reiterated its commitment to working closely with all relevant stakeholders.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe entreat the public to disregard such false claims,\u201d the statement concluded, assuring that the Committee would continue its efforts to combat\u00a0illegal\u00a0mining.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
