“I wouldn’t want to be the person to come out and mention their names, the investigations will not take a long time and everything will soon come out”.

Me. Boadu said the operations will continue and they will go every length to track down all those involved in illegal mining.

He also disclosed that they are on the trail of some Members of Parliament and in due time Ghanaians will know the details of those been hunted.

Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) today at a press conference said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) should rather commend them for fighting illegal mining galamsey because the latter did nothing about the menace when they were in power.
