Presidency Behind Aisha Huang – Small Scale Mining President Proves

The President of the Concerned Small-Scale Miners Association, Michael Kwadwo Peprah, has reportedly proven to the Police that illegal miners actually cruise around town in some parts of the country in cars with presidential stickers.

His client had been picked up in Kumasi and whisked to Accra where, he was peppered with questions over his claim.

Mr. Peprah had been commenting on the Aisha Huang scandal when he made the revelation that ties the Akufo-Addo Jubilee House to galamsey.

It would be recalled that the notorious Chinese galamseyer had recently been arrested in Kumasi, capital of the Ashanti Region even though he had in 2018, been deported from the country for illegal mining.

In the wake of the scandal, a government spokesperson on security and governance, Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, said security agencies picked intelligence on her entry into the country immediately she crossed the border and trailed her until she was arrested.

However, Mr. Peprah disputed the claim indicating that illegal miners are on free range in some parts of the country.

He also revealed that far from what Mr. Boakye-Danquah is claiming, Aisha Huang, has actually been living secretly in the country for months.

According to him, Aisha Huang actually returned to Ghana some six months after her deportation in 2018.

In an interview with Sompa FM, Mr Kwadwo Peprah explained that the Chinese national would have probably continued to live on freely if not for her constant threats to her former landlord.
Mr. Peprah reveals that upon her return to the country, Huang felt cheated by her landlord, who had secured a court injunction to evacuate her belongings from her property following her deportation.

Aisha Huang, according to him, was going in and out of the country until her constant harassment of her landlord and the new occupant of the property led the two to file a complaint with the immigration service.

“The owner of the house rented it out to another Chinese who has since opened a warehouse there which she sells small-scale mining equipment. But while she (Aisha Huang) was coming in and out of the country, she was bent on retrieving the balance for her rent. So, she sometimes goes to the Chinese to threaten her over her balance.

She even goes to the extent of threatening the landlord. The anger and frustration arising from her threats caused the Chinese and the landlord to report to the immigration office in Accra that the Aisha Huang they claim to have deported is in the country and has threatened them. That was the lead they followed to effect her arrest,” he said.

He noted that earlier efforts by the association to alert security agencies about Aisha Huang’s presence in the country failed because of her connection with high government offices and officials.
“As a matter of fact, she was using a Land Cruiser with guards. When you go to Melcom to see the Chinese kingpins there, you see her Land Cruiser embossed with Office of the President sticker,” he said.

He added that Aisha Haung has been operating several businesses, including a supermarket and a casino, over the period.
