K24news: Wontumi risks arrest if he fails to report to Accra on October 6 – Ayine

Ghana’s Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, has disclosed that Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known popularly as Chairman Wontumi, must report himself or risk arrest on October 6, 2025.

According to him, his office has completed processes to formally charge Chairman Wontumi, Akonta Mining, and five others following investigations that revealed encroachment on forest reserves without the necessary permits.

The Attorney General made this known when he addressed CSOs who were meeting the president on Galamsey on Friday October 3, 2025.

“I am happy to announce that in 2022, the police conducted a very diligent investigation in terms of Akonta Mining, but the dockets were hidden until we came to power.

It was when I came in and began the investigation with the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and the Forestry Commission, we were finding it difficult to get information on the case.

It was then that the police themselves owned up and presented that docket to my office two months ago,” he revealed.

Dr. Ayine explained that while Chairman Wontumi’s lawyers requested a Tuesday appearance, he had directed that the accused appear on Monday instead.

“As we speak, the charges against Chairman Wontumi and Akonta Mining and five others have been signed.

Currently, we are waiting for his rights to be read to him, and he has the right to remain silent before he is brought from Kumasi.

“His lawyers asked that he be brought on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, but I insisted that he be here on Monday, October 6, 2025.

If he does not come on Monday, I am going to order his arrest so that he is brought to Accra and then we can start the prosecution,” Dr. Ayine stated.

K24news: Transformation can’t happen overnight – Boakye Agyarko on ‘Moko aya ni moko aba’ cycle

Boakye Agyarko has shared insights into the challenges of governance and electoral psychology in Ghana.

Speaking in an interview with Paul Adom-Otchere on Good Evening Ghana,’ Agyarko highlighted the role of subliminal messaging and the unrealistic expectations governments often place on themselves.

“What I’m saying is that through subliminal messaging and advertisement, we have trapped ourselves over this period into this Moko aya ni moko aba cycle,” he said. “Right?”

Agyarko argued that governments often burden themselves with ambitious transformational agendas within short timeframes, which sets the stage for public impatience.

“The government also at the beginning, put upon itself a heavy transformational agenda to implement within a very short time.

“That kind of transformational agendas don’t happen on short leashes and short cycles,” he explained.

He cited examples from global development models to stress his point. “People talk about Singapore.

“People talk about Mahathir Mohammed in Malaysia. People even talk about Fernando Henrique Cardoso in Brazil. These were not short leash four, eight year cycles that lead to transformation,” he said firmly.

K24news: Galamsey didn’t start under Mahama, but It’s reducing – Dormaahene

Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II has noted that galamsey has declined in recent years but remains a serious concern that must be addressed with urgency.

Speaking to journalists in Accra on Thursday, October 2, after being sworn in alongside 20 others as a Justice of the Court of Appeal, the Dormaahene reflected on the state of the menace that has long threatened Ghana’s environment and communities.

“I have been on this stool for almost 26 and a half years. Galamsey, the illegal mining, did not start yesterday; it’s been with us for some time.

“If you ask me about my assessment I will say now it is going down,” he said.

He cautioned, however, that the fight is far from over.

“I wouldn’t stand here and say galamsey is gone; it is still with us but I believe that if you look at the seriousness… we should ensure that we nip this situation in the bud,” he added.

The Dormaahene stressed the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations.

“This is the only thing our ancestors left for us so we don’t have to destroy our water bodies, cocoa farms and ensure that we do farming in the right way so we can all be happy,” he urged.

According to him, while galamsey did not begin under the current administration, interventions over the years, particularly from President John Dramani Mahama’s era, have helped reduce its prevalence.

Still, he maintained that consistent vigilance and stricter enforcement are required to finally rid the nation of the practice.
