Galamsey: Letter, press release on my alleged involvement were fake and couldn't be authenticated - Joseph Yamin
Joseph Yamin, the National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), denied allegations linking him to illegal mining activities in an interview on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem programme. He described the claims as false and based on an unauthenticated press release, stating, "The letter and the press release are fake in the first place because the person who wrote the story is not traceable."
Mr. Yamin explained that the person whose name and contact details appeared on the alleged press release denied any connection to it, stating they had no affiliation with small-scale mining, lived in Accra, and had no idea about the press release. He questioned how some media organizations verified the document before publishing reports about him being investigated for illegal mining activities. Mr. Yamin also questioned the basis for a letter from the Attorney General's Office to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) requesting investigations, stating the request was based on media reports originating from the disputed press release.
