The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has condemned the unlawful closure of the Forestry Commission’s Bekwai District Office by individuals allegedly posing as National Security operatives.
In a statement shared on his official Facebook page, the Minister described the incident as a “brazen and unlawful invasion” that undermines the rule of law and threatens the integrity of national institutions.
“As Sector Minister, I am deeply appalled by this incident and strongly condemn the invasion in no uncertain terms. Such acts of lawlessness undermine the rule of law, threaten public peace, and tarnish the integrity of institutions like the National Security — and must not be allowed to fester,” the statement read.
The Minister called on all relevant law enforcement agencies to act swiftly in identifying, arresting, and prosecuting those behind the unlawful act to serve as a deterrent to others.
The Ministry has assured the public of its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of state institutions and ensuring that those responsible for such attacks face the full rigours of the law.
