Akufo-Addo: Mahama Slams President Over Akonta Mining Comment As “A Serious Dent” On His Presidency

Not long ago, YEN.com.gh reported in a separate story that former president John Mahama waded into the criticisms that have greeted President Nana Akufo-Addo’s comment that seeks to absolve Akonta Mining Company from allegations of illegal mining.

According to the former president, Nana Akufo-Addo’s constant habit of clearing his appointees and companies that are under investigation for wrongdoing makes the work of anti-graft state agencies difficult.

“As though proud of that dishonourable badge, ‘the clearing agent’, Nana Akufo-Addo has yet again justified the appropriateness of his nickname with the seeming presidential exoneration of Akonta Mining, a company owned by a member of his political party (NPP) and accused of illegal gold mining in the country’s forest reserves,” Mahama said in a Facebook post on January 10.
