Indexing government scandals one at a time
The Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof. Frimpong Boateng, has disclosed that hundreds of seized galamsey excavators have gone missing at the various assemblies.
According to Prof. Frimpong-Boateng, though the excavators were seized and taken to the district assemblies, the heavy-duty machines disappeared later from the premises of the assemblies.
“That was the case in most of the areas so we sent people out there to talk to the district assemblies and we got Vanguard involved and most of them had disappeared” he revealed.
The Vanguard is in reference to ‘Operation Vanguard,’ the Taskforce, the government set up in 2017 to flush out illegal miners in galamsey hotspots.
