A National Democratic Congress official says a 20-year prison sentence is justice for people harmed by illegal mining. Rashid Tanko Computer, who works with the NDC on IT and elections, made these remarks.
He believes the sentence for Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman also known as Chairman Wontumi, brings closure. Mr Tanko Computer spoke about the effects of illegal mining on communities.
The NDC official highlighted the damage caused by illegal mining activities. He stated that the court's decision acknowledges the suffering of affected areas.
This statement comes after Chairman Wontumi received his sentence. The details of the illegal mining conviction were presented in court.
