People in the Obuasi communities have been asking questions on why the Obuasi police and the judiciary have been treating clear cases of illegal mining with kid gloves by not dishing appropriate sentences and punishment to illegal miners. They believe that they are comrades in arms.
They accused the Obuasi police and judiciary for eating from the palm of illegal miners and not fighting the menace which is tearing Obuasi apart through the support for illegal mining in the Obuasi municipality. According to people they are angry that the illegal miners in Obuasi, who nearly killed 8 AngloGold Ashanti security personnel was given one month sentence, while 4 illegal miners in Tarkwa were handed a total of 80 years.
