Attorney-General to appeal Aisha Huang’s 4-year jail term and ask for longer sentence.

The Attorney-General (A-G) and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has decided to appeal against the Accra High Court’s four and half years jail term handed over to En Huang, popularly known Aisha Huang, a chinese national illegal mining kingpin in the Ashanti Region._ The move, he explained, is to test the soundness of the trial court’s decision to punish the prominent illegal miner under the Minerals and Mining (Amendment) Act, 2015 (Act 900), and ensure that the new sentencing regime imposed by the Minerals and Mining (Amendment) Act, 2019 (Act 995), is applied to the convict. In a statement dated December 5, 2023, is entreating the public to desist from making further comments on the judgement, saying that could not only jeopardise the sound and efficient administration of justice but also undermine the fight against illegal mining.
