Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, has said Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, the Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation is too clever to be associated with issues of missing excavators under his watch.
According to him, the first gentleman of the land knew his credibility and exactly what he is capable of doing before appointing him to the position.
He said it cannot be possible that he will not be in the known where the missing excavators are being kept.
“Prof. Frimpong-Boateng is very intelligent and smart with experience to be unaware of the current location of the excavators reserved by government in his care. He will soon account to the nation on the exact locations of the missing seized excavators,” he said.
The Member of Parliament for Tema West constituency in a heated argument on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ discussion political show cautioned members of the largest opposition party to desist from attacking government for not fulfilling its illegal mining campaign promise, but report to the police any information they have relating to the missing excavators.
“If you have any information about the missing excavators, just report to the police and stop reading meanings into the matter when you have no evidence. What did you do during your turn in office in 2010, a year declared as galamsey peak year? At least we have been able to seize the excavators from the various mining sites, a means of preventing the illegal miners from action,” he stated.
The Ghana Police Serice has announced the arrest of six persons over missing excavators and other equipment seized by operatives of Operation Vanguard.
The six persons arrested so far are; Horace Ekow Ewusi, Frederick Ewusi, Joel Asamoah, Adnan Haruna, Frank Gyan and John Arhin.
Horace Ekow Ewusi's arrest was triggered by a request from the Minister of Environment, Science, Technology & Innovation, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, to the Director-General, CID Headquarters, Accra, to commence investigations into the missing excavators and some other equipment.

Aaaaaahhhhhh!! So if we were not there when he took the money and gold, so we couldn't also hear him on tape???
You see some Ghanaians are deeply caught in the fits of the NDC propaganda, that they hardly keep their own unbiased counsel to appreciate the reality on the ground. To date, the information at hand is more of the NDCs' imaginations. Therefore, let us give at least the honorable Minister the benefit of the doubt instead of believing the exaggerations and the fabricated accusations of the NDC, which can only lead to unfair judgment. Then, the President appointed his ministers according to their merits, integrity and past records in our society. Indeed, that of Dr. Frimpong Boateng had been very remarkable and deserves to be treated fairly according to the law. We shouldn't believe the NDC blindly.
It looks like this guy is so belly full that he is divorced from reality. Please someone should inform him of Jojo Frimpong-Boateng.
I won't vote for nana addo again, I will just stay home during election day. Infact I will not even register when the EC starts registration. Nana addo has disappointed me so much. He cannot tell me that for three years in office all his appointees are saints. Every corruption case investigated couldn't find even one person guilty to be even suspended, that is not possible anywhere in the world. Even in Jesus Christ Israel appointees are found guilty. From cash for seat to pds, kelni to ameri to ppa, to Australia visa, to Norway ghana embassy building purchase to eurobond, to charles Bissue, to deputy chief of staff to rosewood, come on, can we swear that no one has done anything wrong? Aabah! The president couldn't even reprimand bryan acheampong for his involvement in ayawaso violence, but has rather promoted him. The gaffe by osafo maafo about Aisha whun was ignored. Hawa koomson website scandal, barwumia gps. The offenses are too many. Even the ones outside politics have been dropped. Talk of nyantakyi and Nam1. How can you ignore or clear all these and expect me to go and queue in a scorching sun to vote for you again. You can't convince me every appointee of your is like Jesus or Allah.
Yaaa mokaas3 Y3y3 nkoadaa maohu. We know some Ghanaians are stouopid enough to accept some of these explanations but for some of us yeni ate rough. The man has embarrassed himself and a disgrace to his profession. Did he not say he has given some concession to finance the party? U wait
