The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Bosome Freho in the Ashanti Region, Yaw Danso has been suspended with immediate effect by the President, for his alleged involvement in galamsey.
A viral audio on social media implicated the District Chief Executive when he was purportedly heard encouraging illegal mining activities in his district despite government efforts to fight against illegal mining.
A letter sighted by Apexnewsgh.com said the suspension is to allow investigation into the matter by the appropriate agencies to verify the authenticity of the alleged audio recording.
Meanwhile, some members of the Assembly had already called on President Akufo-Addo, his Chief of Staff, the Local Government and Decentralization Minister, and Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Abu Jinapor to take a serious look into the allegations.
President Akufo-Addo, recently speaking with MMDCEs at a galamsey engagement in Kumasi, said the District Chief Executive has been invited to defend himself against the charges.
