Persons who contribute to the pollution of the environment have been treated with kid gloves for far too long, according to the Majority Leader in Parliament,\u00a0Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu has said.<\/p>\n
Given the precarious state of Ghana’s natural resources like vegetation and water bodies, Mr. Mensah-Bonsu believes that taking lives to protect the environment is justified by the constitution.<\/p>\n
The Majority Leader made these remarks in Parliament on Tuesday after the Minority Leader, Haruna Idrissu, had described the recent burning of trucks and\u00a0equipment used for sand winning in the Dalun River\u00a0by soldiers of\u00a0Operation Vanguard\u00a0as \u201cextrajudicial\u201d and \u201cexcessive\u201d.<\/p>\n
