Police impound two trucks of Rosewood at Damongo

At least two trucks of Rosewood have been impounded by officials of the Ghana Police Service at Damongo  in the Savannah region.

The arrest of the two trucks was made on Sunday, June 28, 2021. The Savanah Regional Taskforce against rosewood trade has been on wild alert for the transport of the commodity.

Government through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, it would be recalled, placed a ban on the transportation and trade of rosewood.

Meanwhile, the minister for lands and natural resources Samuel Abu Jinapor says the ministry is devising another strategy in dealing with confiscated rosewood which in many instances find its way back to the wrong hands.

Abu Jinapor made these known before the public accounts committee of parliament when he responded to some public interest questions from the committee.
