Emmanuel Ennor Kofi, the chairman of the National Democratic Congress in the Evalue-Gwira-Ajomoro constituency, has denied reports linking him with illegal mining activities in the constituency.
In a statement issued on his behalf by Gideon Ansah Mensah, the Director of Operations of his company, Annomanuel Company Limited, Ennor Kofi refuted the allegations and urged Ghanaians to disregard them.
Ennor Kofi, in the statement dated February 18, 2025, maintained his innocence and accused his opponents of engaging in malicious propaganda.
“Our attention has been drawn to some publications in the media claiming that our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Emmanuel Ennor Kofi, has been engaging in illegal mining activities in the Evalue-Gwira-Ajomoro constituency.
“We wish to clarify that these reports are a complete falsehood without an iota of truth in them.
“Mr. Ennor Kofi is a legitimate businessman conducting legitimate mining activities in areas authorized by the Minerals Commission. Contrary to the reports, neither he nor the company has engaged in any form of mining in a forest reserve or waterbody,” parts of the statement read.
The statement further disclosed the commitment of Ennor Kofi to the fight against illegal mining, urging Ghanaians to ignore what it views as malicious propaganda against the astute businessman and politician.
“As a patriotic Ghanaian and the chairman of the National Democratic Congress in the Evalue-Gwira-Ajomoro constituency, Mr. Ennor Kofi is fully aware of the commitment by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to addressing the galamsey menace and is fully committed to this cause by His Excellency.
“We want to reiterate that these reports are untrue, unfounded, and baseless. We appeal to all well-meaning Ghanaians, particularly the good people of Evalue-Gwira-Ajomoro, to disregard the malicious and mischievous propaganda being waged against Mr. Ennor Kofi, who is an honourable man and committed to the development of Evalue-Gwira-Ajomoro,” the statement concludes.
The speculations come amid reports of Ennor Kofi’s potential appointment as the MCE for the area.
