The editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako Jnr, described the remarks made by Prime Minister Yaw Osafo Maafo as clumsy.
The prime minister was the subject of controversy when he tried to explain why Aisha Huang, known as "Galamsey Queen", a Chinese national known for her exploits in Illegal mining had been deported.
Mr. Yaw Osafo-Maafo, who recently spoke at a public meeting in the United States, justified the decision to drop Aisha Huang's lawsuit by declaring: A lady (Aisha) in prison at the Ghana will not solve your economic problems »
The explanation was made after a participant in the meeting sought to know why "Galamsey Queen" had been deported only after his arrest by the authorities.
At a roundtable on the Joy Newsfile program on Saturday, Kweku Baako said that the explanation given by Mr. Osafo Maafo was "unwarranted" and asked him to apologize and retract .
According to him, it is a fact that the expulsion of Queen Galamsey will not solve the country's economic problem, but to say so creates a problem of credibility for the government in power.
"Such inappropriate communication was a blunder," he added, adding, "If he wanted to deal with the question put to him, he should have given the legal answer and left it there. It is true that imprisoning a person will not solve Ghana's economic problem, but imprisoning him would strengthen the culture of deterrence that we seek to develop. That's why he should not have used all of this. It is difficult to defend him in this way and maybe he will have to do it. honorable thing; an open apology and a retraction can help. "
