Ghana’s Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, is advocating for harsher penalties for the illegal mining kingpin Aisha Huang.

He has announced his decision to appeal against the 4-year-6-month sentence given to the Chinese national.

The Attorney General argues that the convict should have been sentenced under the Amended Minerals and Mining Act, which imposes a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 25 years for such offenses.

From Accra, WADRs Naa Dedei Tettey reports.
