Otumfuo’s power and authority can stop Galamsey outright in Asanteman -St. Sark

The Head Pastor of the Open Arms Ministry, Apostle Kofi Nkansah-Sarkodie says he strongly believes that Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, is capable of using his power and authority to stop illegal mining, also known as galamsey, especially in all mining areas under his kingdom.

He said His Royal Majesty wields enormous influence over all his subjects under the Asante Kingdom, which is arguably the worst affected by illegal mining activities.

Addressing a news conference at the headquarters of his church at North Suntreso in Kumasi, Saint Sark, as the Man of God is popularly called, said Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is one of the most revered Kings in the world and should use his Royal authority and the respect he commands over the world to halt the galamsey menace in the country.

Saint Sark noted the Asantehene is on record to have said some time ago that any traditional ruler in his jurisdiction who was found to be involved in galamsey would be destooled outright and argued that it was high time Otumfuo strictly applied those rules.

He said it was no enviable record that Ashanti region is in the lead with regards to the galamsey issues and the King should, therefore, exercise his authority over his chiefs to end the disgraceful canker now.
