The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, alias Chairman Wontumi, has urged the public to disregard media reports suggesting that he was engaged in illegal mining activities.
According to him, his company Akonta Mining Limited has all the required documentation to engage in large-scale mining.
Speaking in a television interview Monday on Wontumi TV, Antwi Boasiako said one of the leases granted to his company would expire in 2035.
He said he had four concessions in Samreboi, one for prospecting and three others which were leases.
