Lawyer for Aisha Huang, the galamsey kingpin standing trial for engaging in illegal mining, has accused the media of “overhyping” the case involving the Chinese national.
Nkrabea Effah Dartey views the case in court as a “small matter” and is surprised at the attention the media has given it.
“My worry is that the media has overhyped this small matter of mining without a license and doing mineral sales without license. It’s a small matter, it happens every day in Ghana. So I don’t see why the media should even write an editorial on this matter”.
“And it is that which is creating the problem and giving all manner of insecurity to the issue,” Effah Dartey told pressmen after court proceedings today, September 14, 2022.
