The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has debunked media reports suggesting that the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has cited the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, of being engaged in galamsey activities in the Kyebi area.
According to the Ministry, the 31-page report by the BNI only recorded a said perception against the Okyenhene’s Palace and therefore did not implicate the Chief.
“The Ministry will continue to urge the Okyenhene, his Foundation and other traditional authorities to continue to support this necessary fight to save the environment,” the statement noted.

Meanwhile, the Okyehene in an earlier interview with the Daily Graphic said the allegations leveled against him were mere fabrications by his detractors, including some of his family members opposed to his reign.
