Aside having links to the top, Ms Huang was reportedly blackmailing top politicians and security officers with sex tapes and videos, thereby incapacitating them from taking any serious actions against her alleged wrongdoings.
Her deportation without trial sought to lend credence to the rumors.
In a statement issued in Accra and copied to Peacefmonline.com, the civil society organization said “the matter involving Aisha Huang and the Government’s handling of it beggars belief, insults our intelligence, contradicts the President’s numerous pledges to fight Galamsey, and is probably the most obvious indicator that the Government’s commitment to the anti-Galamsey fight has been at best half-hearted”.Alluding to recent remarks by Presidential Staffer and the then secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining, Mr. Charles Bissue, that "deporting Aisha Huang was to prevent tax payer monies from being spent on her trial and possible imprisonment"; and Senior Minister Mr. Yaw Osafo-Maafo who justified the "lack of prosecution of Aisha Huang on the basis of Ghana’s relationship with China and the prospect of receiving $2bn under the Sinohydro bauxite project", OccupyGhana® said the comments suggests that there is a price tag for the exoneration of foreigners implicating in the appalling desecration of Ghana’s environment, rivers and laws.
The group was also unforgiving of the two government appointee’s lack of tact in rendering an apology.
“What Mr. Bissue was unable to tell us was what that cost of prosecution and imprisonment would have been, compared to the damage that Aisha Huang’s alleged activities had caused, and as compared with the Ghanaians and others who had been tried for, convicted of and punished for the same offence….
…Then, as recently as April 2019, the Senior Minister Mr. Yaw Osafo-Maafo compounded the situation, justifying the lack of prosecution of Aisha Huang on the basis of Ghana’s relationship with China and the prospect of receiving $2bn under the Sinohydro bauxite project.
“Neither Mr. Bissue nor Mr. Osafo-Maafo has withdrawn and apologised for these offensive and insulting statements. That is why we think that the Government’s alleged volte-face, captured in the President’s “mistake on hindsight” statement gives no, little or very cold comfort,” portions of the civil society organisation's statement read.
