Wontumi should have received maximum 25-year sentence — Ken Ashigbey

Convener of the Media Coalition Against Illegal Mining, Dr Kenneth Ashigbey, has said he would have preferred the Accra High Court to impose the maximum custodial sentence of 25 years on Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, insisting that those who finance and facilitate illegal mining deserve the harshest punishment available under the law.
