Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Akwatia constituency in the Eastern Region, Baba Jamal says there is absolutely no sense in going to court because of burning excavators.
To him, the President is making a mistake by allowing the military to burn confiscated excavators from individuals and companies mining illegally.
“Why don’t we burn houses and other properties when the state seize them?” he questioned in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
President Nana Akufo-Addo on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, noted that the state agencies are justified in destroying confiscated excavators from individuals and companies.
“I know there are some who believe that the ongoing exercise in ridding our water bodies and forest zones of harmful equipment and machinery is unlawful and, in some cases, harsh.”
“I strongly disagree and I would advise those who take a contrary view to go to court to vindicate their position if they so wish. That is what the rule of the law is all about,” he said
But Baba Jamal also thinks otherwise – he told NEAT FM’s morning show host, Kwesi Aboagye that the President is misreporting the law.
According to him, “he [President Nana Addo] should rather tell us that he doesn’t trust his people with the seized excavators because of their previous experience, hence, the illegal burning than telling affected people to go to court.”
“This doesn’t make sense to me,” The former NDC lawmaker added.

Baba Jamal de3 gyimi paaaaa ni3
Didn't ndc burned mr. Kissi excavators?
Look at Baba's comparison - very poor choice of example with which to compare to compare galamsey. Nana Addo government's approach is pragmatic and common sense. Mr President, continue to burn excavators as galamsey is an evil venture and it has already destroyed the life of most Ghanaians.
That is why you should go to court.
Another NDC attention seeker. The president is saying that if you think the action of the military is wrong in law proceed to court to have justices. what again Mr. irrelevant wants." Mr if see goat say it is sheep" quote any portion in law that the president comment go to court if you think bein cheated is senseless or your incompetents' in law makes you think you know. He is one of the rotten eggs characters in NDC and they do appease voters to vote for NDC rather scatter potential voters away
How will it make sense to you when big thinkers speaks. What do you know Baba in law? Tell us the number of cases you have won since you graduated as a lawyer. Characters like Baba will prolong NDC stay in opposition becuase he is a liar
