- NDC Chairman denies illegal mining claims
- Calls allegations "complete falsehood"
- Reaffirms commitment to fighting galamsey
Emmanuel Ennor Kofi, the Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Evalue-Gwira-Ajomoro constituency, has firmly rejected allegations linking him to illegal mining activities, labeling the claims as “a complete falsehood without an iota of truth.”
The denial was made in a press release issued on February 18, 2025, and signed by Gideon Ansah Mensah, the Director of Operations at Annomanuel Company Limited, which Mr. Ennor owns.
The statement clarified that Ennor is a legitimate businessman, and his operations are conducted within areas legally authorized by the Minerals Commission. “Contrary to the reports, neither he nor the company has engaged in any form of mining in a forest reserve or waterbody,” the statement read.
Furthermore, the release emphasized Mr. Ennor Kofi’s unwavering commitment to combating illegal mining, aligning with former President John Dramani Mahama’s pledge to address the widespread issue of galamsey.
“As a patriotic Ghanaian and the chairman of the National Democratic Congress in the Evalue-Gwira-Ajomoro constituency, Mr. Ennor Kofi is fully aware of the commitment by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to addressing the galamsey menace, and he is fully committed to this cause,” the statement emphasized.
In light of the allegations, the company urged the public, particularly the people of Evalue-Gwira-Ajomoro, to disregard what it described as “malicious and mischievous propaganda” aimed at discrediting Mr. Ennor Kofi.
“We want to reiterate that these reports are untrue, unfounded, and baseless,” the statement concluded.
