The Dean of the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC), Dr Vladimir Antwi-Danso, has said the re-entry of Chinese galamsey Queen, Aisha Huang to Ghana, smacks of disrespect for the country and its laws.
He explained that when one is deported, it simply means the person is not needed in the country until an official invitation is given by the state to return.
Speaking on the Ghana Tonight show with Alfred Ocansey on TV3 Tuesday September 6, Dr Anwti-Danso said “either she has the backing of some officails or she believes the country is so corrupt that she can have her way.”
[Her re-entry] shows disrespect for us as Ghanaians and for our country. When you are deported, you are declared persona non grata, you are not wanted until you are invited into the country
“She treated us with this kind of disdain, we should let all foreigners know that we are a country to be respected.”
On Monday September 5, an Accra Circuit Court remanded into custody 4 Chinese nationals for their alleged involvement in illegal small-scale mining activities.
Hearing the case Monday September 5, three suspects, Jong Li Huang, Huang Jei and Huiad Hua pleaded not guilty in court to a charge of engaging in sales and purchases of minerals without license.
