The outspoken MP claimed Anas and his master Kwaku Baako have companies engaging in galamsey and have destroyed several lands.

“I have lots of pictures where lands and water bodies have been destroyed by illegal mining activities and these lands belong to Anas and his boss.

They are behind all this and it very sad how they are destroying Mother Ghana. Ghana has no future if we allow this to go on in this country.
