The National Democratic Congress, NDC, says when voted into power they will make sure galamsey kingpin Aisha Huang is brought back into the country to face the laws of Ghana.
Speaking on Joy FM's Newsfile programme on Saturday, April 27, MP for North Tongu Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said the NDC has decided to make sure Aisha Huang is prosecuted.
"The future NDC government will trigger extradition processes for Aisha Hung to be brought back to face our laws, to be prosecuted in Ghana."
According to Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa aside the illegal mining activities engaged in my by the galamsey queen, issues of murder have also been raised against her.
"Apart from polluting our natural resources, we are also dealing with somebody who took peoples lives."

He also added that the national sovereignty of the country has been sacrificed following the nolle prosequi filed by the Attorney General and later the signing of the Sinohydro deal.
"The national sovereignty has been sacrificed with what is going on."
The MP was reacting to a statement made by Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Maafo at a town hall meeting in the United States that Aisha Huang, when put behind bars in Ghana, will not be a solution to economic problems.
