According to Hopeson Adorye, Ghana's mining law requires that a percentage of gold taken abroad be returned to Ghana in order to build the country.

He claimed that the vice president and his secretary established a gold firm and placed it in the free zone, circumventing these mineral rules.

Hopeson Adorye went into greater detail on Onua TV "Do you know what the vice president has done, the vice president and his secretary will go to jail, I have not learned the law, but I know there are laws that state the gold we excavating in Ghana, if you are taking them outside a certain percentage must be given to Ghana, for it to be used to develop Ghana, and our Chiefs must also receive their royalties" .

"Some people have got wealth, and they don't know how to spend it, so they have formed a gold company, and they have placed it under free zones" , the politician stated.

The former NPP member went on to remark, "What I'm saying is that the Office of the President and Vice President's secretariat agreement on LOC regime enforcement for free zone enterprises would land them in jail. The vice president's secretary wrote a letter to the governor, but he did not copy the chief of staff or the president.

"What we are picking is that some people have made wealth and they do not know how to spend it, and they do not know how to get it out of the country, they cannot put their wealth in the Bank too, so they have placed this gold company under the free zones when they take it out they don't bring even 1 cedi back to Ghana" , he went on to say.
