The Adhoc Ministerial Committee on illegal mining has rejected allegations made by the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, who claimed that Organised Labour’s leadership demanded money to cancel its planned strike.
The Committee called these accusations “baseless and unfounded.”
In a press statement issued and signed by the Committee’s Chairman and Minister for National Security, Albert Kan-Dapaah on Thursday, September 19, 2024, the Committee urged the public to disregard such claims, emphasizing that no financial demands were made during its discussions with Organised Labour leaders.
“The Committee urges the public to dismiss these allegations as they are entirely unfounded. No such demand or payment has occurred,” the statement asserted.
The committee clarified that their engagement with Organised Labour was conducted in good faith and without any inducements.
“The discussions were held honestly and without any ulterior motives,” he emphasized.
The Adhoc Ministerial Committee, which is dedicated to addressing illegal and irresponsible mining, reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with all relevant stakeholders.
“We urge the public to ignore these false claims,” the statement concluded.
