The Western Regional Minister has reacted to news about the alleged involvement in “galamsey” which led to his driver absconding with proceeds.
Per the news item earlier shared by Gh One TV, the driver had escaped with the huge sum of GHS17 million into Ivory Coast.
However, Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah has called the bluff of the media house by describing the reportage as a reputation-tarnishing one.
According to him, he remains committed to the protection of natural resources in his region and would not engage in profiting from galamsey and its related activities.
He further described the news reportage as an innuendo masterminded by his detractors in order to soil his reputation and paint a bad picture of who he was not.
Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah added that he would be prepared to take on GhOne TV or EIB Network after a consultation with his lawyers.
“In respect of the innuendo of the news alert, I shall take appropriate remedial steps under advisement from my lawyers.”
