Ambassador to Ghana denies Chinese nationals are solely to blame for ‘galamsey’, branding the accusations a ‘significant injustice’
It has prompted the Chinese ambassador to Ghana, Tong Defa, to push back against accusations that Chinese nationals are solely to blame for the illegal mining activity.
He said Chinese nationals could not obtain local mining licences and were often brought in by Ghanaians who facilitated the illegal mining operations.
He said the “perception is unfair to me, personally, and to the majority of Chinese nationals here”.
