The Chief of Donkro-Nkwanta, Nana Owusu Akyeaw Brempon II, has lauded the Bono East Regional Minister, Kwasi Adu-Gyan for his timely intervention which averted a possible scuffle between the people of the town and some alleged illegal miners.
Last Wednesday, March 31, 2021, the Minister received distress calls and read same on social media platforms about illegal mining operations at Donkronkwanta, a farming community near Nkoranza, which was generating some apprehension in the area.
Apparently, the residents of the area, especially the youth, had accused the chief and elders of giving out some lands in the area to some Chinese and Indians to undertake illegal mining, popularly called galamsey.

Some irate youth at Donkro-Nkwanta in the Nkoranza South Municipality of the Bono East Region, nearly lynched the chief of the town, when during a rampage on Thursday, April 1.
The aggrieved youth alleged that Nana Owusu Acheaw Brempong II has released hectares of land to Chinese expatriates to undertake illegal mining activities in the town.
But the Bono East Regional Security Council (REGSEC) chaired by Mr Kwasi Adu-Gyan, the Regional Minister and other security operatives moved in to save the situation.
Calm has however returned to the area.
Addressing the chiefs and people of the town, Mr Adu-Gyan advised the youth against lawless behaviour, assuring that the REGSEC would investigate the matter and ensure that the right thing was done to preserve the prevailing peace of the town.
