The Deputy Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for the Effutu Constituency in the Central Region Alexander Afenyo-Markin has denied allegations that the Minerals Commission has leased the forest reserve in the Effutu Constituency for lithium mining.
Mr Alexander Afenyo-Markin called the claims baseless and untrue, dismissing the protest by some residents. He clarified that the Minerals Commission had previously stated that they had not approved any application for mining in the sacred forest where deer hunting occurs during the Aboakyire Festival.
He refuted accusations that government officials, including his office, were involved in the sale of the forest reserve for mining. He urged the protesters to address the real challenges facing the community.
