Heads To Roll At Immigration Service
(Myjoyonline) Government has ordered the Immigration Service to urgently rid the institution of corrupt officials who are found to have connived with Chinese nationals who engage in illegal mining in the country.
The Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini warned that heads will roll if the top hierarchy of the service does not take immediate steps to cleanse its house.
The Minister was speaking to Joy News after a 9-member delegation from China’s Gonchi province – where majority of China’s illegal miners are believed to come from – met him.
“…There is clear complicity, clear complicity between certain officials of the Immigration Service and the presence of Chinese illegal miners in Ghana,” the minister alleged.
We charged him [head of Immigration] to go clean his house or else we will clean the house for him.”
The Service last month announced internal investigations after widespread allegations that its officials had granted permits to Chinese nationals to engage in illegal mining in Ghana.
