Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah has tasked the law enforcement agencies to cause the arrest of unscrupulous individuals operating as National Security operatives who closed the offices of the Forestry Commission at Bekwai, in the Ashanti Region.
According to a statement signed by the minister, he is deeply appalled by the incident and condemned it in no uncertain terms, saying such acts undermine the rule of law and threaten the peace of the country.
“I received reports on the brazen and unlawful closure of the Bekwai District Office of the Forestry Commission by persons masquerading as National Security operatives in the Ashanti Region,” said Armah-Kofi Buah.
“I call on all relevant law enforcement agencies to swiftly apprehend and prosecute all those involved in the said illegality to serve as a deterrent to other unscrupulous persons who may harbor similar intentions,” he added. End item
