Lawyer Kobby Amoah has stated that the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources cannot arbitrarily cancel mining leases.
He described the government's decision to revoke the mining lease belonging to Adamus Resources as procedurally flawed.
Amoah explained that the company might take legal action if it was not given a chance to address the reasons for the revocation.
He emphasized that the Minister's power to revoke such leases is not absolute.
This situation highlights the legal requirements for government actions concerning mining rights.
The Minister must follow proper procedures before revoking a company's license.
Failure to do so can lead to legal challenges from the affected company.
The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has not yet commented on these statements.
