President Akufo-Addo has given the Attorney General and Minister of Justice his full backing to prosecute Aisha Huang, the notoriously accused Chinese national who has been illegally mining in Ghana.
Aisha Hang was recently re-arrested in Ghana after allegedly falsifying some documents to gain access into Ghana after her initial deportation.
President Akufo-Addo pledged his support to the Attorney General to prosecute Aisha Huang during a speech at the launch of the Ghana Bar Association’s annual conference in Ho.
The President also called on the Judiciary to ensure that Aisha Huang is given the full punishment as enshrined in the minerals and mining Act as amended ACT 2019 (ACT 995).
Aisha Huang was deported in 2018 because of her illegal mining activities.
The deportation was criticised as many felt she should have been prosecuted instead.
Reports indicate that she returned to Ghana from a neighbouring country through a land border.
She also has a Ghana Card with the name, Huang En.
The Attorney General plans to revisit Aisha’s past crimes as well as her recent offences.
She has been charged with mining without license and engaging in the sale and purchase of minerals.
