A private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu has asked the Attorney General to hire more lawyers for prosecution.

He said most of the prosecutors in the Attorney General’s department are not lawyers hence, the difficulties in securing convictions.

Mr Kpebu said these on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday September 10 while commenting on the arrest of Chinese galamsey queen Aisah Huang.

“Most of the prosecutors are not lawyers, we need to make the law better,” he said.

He added “Subsequently, we should know how to refine the law in terms of fine when the galamsey operators are picked up.”

For his part, the Director, Faculty of Academic Affairs and Research, Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, Professor Kwesi Aning, said the offence of  Aisha Huang should be elevated to a treasonable action.

Prof Aning also said the cartel behind her, including the Ghanaians involved in the network should be tackled as well.

“This woman’s danger to us needs to be elevated so that we can use the law as much as possible,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday September 10.

Her action ” should be elevated to treasonable act. Let us not rush to quickly try Aisha Huang.

“It is not only Aisha, let us identify Ghanaians who have facilitated her criminal enterprise.
