Aisha Huang has Accomplices in High Places in Govt – Prof. Kwesi Aning

The Director of Faculty of Academic Affairs and Research at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, Professor Kwesi Aning, has said Aisha Huang, the notorious Chinese illegal miner in the grips of the law, has accomplices in high places.

He has therefore asked Attorney General Godfred Dame to expand investigations of Huang to cover his accomplices in those high places.

He said this while speaking on Newsfile on Accra based JoyNews on September 10.

“I want to caution the Attorney General or make a suggestion. Punishing Aisha Huang alone does not begin to think about the problem or the extent of the problem. We need to ask ourselves who are those who have colluded with her, connived with her, facilitated her business to the extent that we are even in doubt if she ever left this country,” Prof Aning said.

The Attorney General who has taken over Huang’s docket has promised to probe the notorious woman who returned to Ghana to do illegal mining after she was deported in 2018.

Prof. Aning  alleged that Aisha Huang dined with top officials suggestively prior to her rearrest. Prof. Aning is also on record to have said Huang is a Chinese State spy probably on espionage in Ghana.

“The senior minister’s [Yaw Osafo-Maafo] argument that Aisha Huang was she to be prosecuted could affect the Syno Hydro loan raises particularly difficult questions. I said Aisha Huang had been let off the hook because she was a Chinese state agent. Vladimir Antwi Danso, my senior brother says that she is not intelligent enough to be a state agent. That opens up more disturbing things.

“If she is not that intelligent, what was the senior minister doing facilitating her exit? How has she been able to stay in Kumasi running her shop? And I know about 10 days ago, she was dining with some important people. If that is the hallmark of a woman who is unintelligent then, what is the IQ level of those that we have put our trust in?” Prof Aning askedd Articles

The security analyst also expressed concerns about the rate at which state institutions that could have acted on the Aisha Huang case before it escalated seem to have now awoken from their slumber following her arrest.

He wondered if it was intended to cover up their failings on the job they have been entrusted to discharge. Prof Aning on allegations that Aisha Huang got a police commander transferred has asked the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, to launch investigations into the matter.

“I am also disturbed about the amazing rapidity with which state institutions that had failed to act suddenly claim to be acting. In whose interest? Is it in their selfish interest that they close the gap that exposes them? And I have asked the IGP Dr. Dampare to investigate this assertion that this woman [Aisha Huang] was able to get a Commander transferred. If that is true, then the very edifice of this state, those who are to be protecting us, those that we have entrusted with our lives and the lives of generations yet unborn have failed us and failed us woefully,” he asserted.
