Management of the Accra International Conference Centre(AICC) has reversed its earlier decision preventing the hosting of Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Tiger Eye P.I new investigative piece on illegal mining titled ‘Galamsey Economy’.
A statement from the AICC management said the advertised event will now come off as scheduled.
It explained:” The initial confusion was due to a scheduling conflict at the level of the AICC staff and not in any way a political decision as being speculated.”
“The matter has been resolved,” said AICC in its statement, adding that it has made contact with the organisers and the event is expected to come off as scheduled.
Barely 24 hours to the public showing of the exposé at the AICC, Tiger Eye P.I announced that it has been blocked from screening the investigative piece on illegal mining at the facility.
“management of AICC informed Tiger Eye through our agent on Saturday, 12 November 2022, that the venue is no longer available for use on the said dates.”
“Tiger Eye has already fulfilled every requirement of AICC to use the place including payment for the venue despite last minute change in cost by about per cent (30%)”, the release disclosed.
The premiering of the investigative work is scheduled for November 14 and 15, 2022 at the International Conference Centre, Accra.
The documentary by Investigative journalist, Anas Aremyaw Anas exposes alleged bribery, and corruption as well as corruption-related offences in Ghana’s fight against illegal mining popularly called galamsey.
