The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal Assembly in the Western Region, Mr. Benjamin Kessie has cautioned some media outlets to retract and apologize on what he describes as inaccurate facts leveled against him by the chief of Dompim-Pepesa, Nana Nyonwah Panyin IV.
The MCE has hinted that his lawyers are preparing to sue Nana Nyonwah Panyin IV and the various media houses which have published the news items for defamation of character if the media do not retract their errors immediately.
His move comes at the back a circulated publication that states that Chief of Dompim-Pepesa, Nana Nyonwah Panyin IV alleged that the Western Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, a Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Mr. George Mireku-Duker and a Municipal Chief Executive are involved in the illegal small-scale mining, galamsey
Nana Nyonwah Panyin IV told the media on Monday, October 10, 2022, that he had incontrovertible evidence to implicate the trio.
He has subsequently dared the trio to sue him over the allegations he has made, stressing that already he had become the subject of threat following his resolve to root out galamsey from his jurisdiction.
"I know not of any company, but I know of the very people who are behind the operations of 'galamsey' in my area. First and foremost, the Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, is involved.
"The MP for the area, Tarkwa Nsuaem, Honorable George Mireku-Duker, is also involved, and the MCE, Benjamin Kessie, is also involved. I have told you I am not going to disclose my arsenals to you."
"They said they were going to sue, so let them sue. I'll let out my arsenals at the right time," the chief alleged.
"The situation keeps getting worse, and my heart is bleeding," the chief said when asked how he feels about the galamsey scourge.
But in a sharp rebuttal, the MCE stressed that "I want to tell the general public, the chiefs, queen-mothers, youths and stakeholders in Tarkwa Nsuaem municipality that I am not into galamsey and that l would the last person to engage in galamsey operations in the area,” he said in an interview with Soireenews.com.
The MCE stressed that there are preparing to institute legal against the chief in law court to subject Nana Nyonwah Panyin to proof his claims.
