The case concerning galamsey queen En Huang, also known as Aisha Huang, is ready to go to trial, according to Attorney General and Minister for Justice Godfred Dame.
Following her most recent appearance on Monday, the accused individual is scheduled to appear in court on October 24, 2022.
The bail application made by the alleged illegal miner's attorneys was denied by Justice Lydia Osei Marfo.
Godfred Dame stated in an interview that the state is ready to deliver its case once the trial starts.
"We are prepared to move forward with the trial day by day. The trial will proceed in that way, according to the judge's indication. We are prepared to start the trial in the Aisha Huang case even if we are given the chance next week. The judge says we should return for the case management conference, and I am confident we will be prepared by the next postponed date.
By the next adjourned date, when the case management conference for the Aisha Huang case is scheduled to start, the Attorney General is expected to provide eight witness statements and 18 additional documents
Aisha Huang is accused of conducting a mining operation without a license, encouraging others to participate in a mining activity, illegally hiring foreign workers, and entering Ghana while being barred from doing so again.
The three other Chinese citizens on trial alongside Aisha Huang were remanded into the National Investigations Bureau's custody during Tuesday's proceedings pending the outcome of their case.
Receipts for mining concession purchases were discovered in their possession at the time of their arrest, and WhatsApp chats between them are believed to have shown their involvement in illicit mining activities, according to the facts of the case as recounted by Attorney General Godfred Dame.
