Kingsperp dismisses claims of mining illegally in Oda River forest reserve

January 22, 2021

File

Officials of Kingsperp Mining Company have debunked claims that the firm is mining illegally in the Oda River forest reserve in the Amansie East District of the Ashanti Region.

The firm has produced valid documents from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Forestry Commission (FC) and other state institutions that sanctioned its mining in the forest reserve in a sustainable manner that does not tamper with the ecology.

Spokesperson for the mining company Murtala Mohamed, speaking on Akoma FM’s morning show GhanAkoma explained to host Aduanaba Kofi Asante Ennin that “there has been speculations by section of the media that we are not a registered company and therefore our activities have been likened to ‘galamsey’ but that is not true because we have legal and valid licenses from all appropriate agencies that make our operations legal, besides we are a registered mining company that pays tax and all other royalties so we don’t know where these speculations are emanating from”.

He added that “Kingsperp Mining Company has since issued a communique to refute claims that we have illegally invaded the Oda River forest reserve so I will also want to use your platform to express our worry on such unfounded allegations which we deem unfortunate, hence the general public must treat those speculations with the needed contempt”.
