Kojo Oppong Nkrumah Clarifies Akufo-Addo's "I'm Not Sure Aisha Haung Was Deported" Comment

President Akufo-Addo is under fire for allegedly admitting he doesn't know whether or not 'galamsey queen' Aisha Haung was deported. President Akufo-Addo remarked in an interview on a Ho-based radio station on Monday, as part of his trip of the Volta Region, "I'm still not sure whether she was actually deported." Or whether she left the country the first time and has returned. There still appears to be some doubt about it. But, in any case, she's become a sort of mascot for everything galamsey symbolizes."

When asked about deportation, the President said, "I'm not sure if it's about deportation or whether she escaped, but the fundamental thing is this, and then he proceeded to deliver the substantive response." "I've heard some analysts say that the President's statements should have been clearer, etc." "I mean, I am convinced that in a democracy, we can always raise problems about the use of language," he said on Tuesday.
