Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, former Chairman of the disbanded Inter-Ministerial Committee on unlawful Mining (IMCIM), is inviting God’s wrath on those involved in unlawful mining and accompanying environmental harm.
During a breakfast meeting to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Kumasi Chapter of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship, the former Minister for Environment Science and Technology stated that God will deal with all those involved in unlawful mining activities.
He bemoaned the recklessness with which the environment is being depleted by some persons saying God abhors such acts.
“We are supposed to be caretakers of these things, but we are messing them up, and we think we are smart and God is not happy with us.”
Prof. Frimpong-Boateng went on to say that those who are depleting the environment will face God’s wrath and indignation, citing Revelations 11:18.
“The nations are angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for you to punish the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and saints who revere your name and to punish those who destroy the earth.”
A report written by the former Chairman of the now-defunct Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining that accused several New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials at the Jubilee House of actively engaging in illegal small-scale mining, also known as galamsey, caused a public uproar in April.
