“Yesterday I apologize for it sincerely for relying on that picture to connect to to the realty. we all make mistakes , we rely rely on World Bank reports , UNCESCO Funded research, BBC report on the activity of sand winning and its effect are all over.”
He apologized following calls from some individuals including legal practitioner, Gordon Edudzi Tamakloe on the Majority caucus to render an apology to people of Keta for using a picture on alleged sand winning activities in Keta which has caused the tidal wave.
