NDC gov’t has failed galamsey fight spectacularly – Miracles Aboagye

Opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications Director Dennis Miracles Aboagye has sharply criticized the current government's efforts to combat illegal mining, also known as galamsey. Aboagye asserted that the government has failed spectacularly in its promise to address the issue, as evidenced by the ongoing mining activities.

He highlighted this failure with bottles of polluted water, collected from rivers affected by galamsey's impact. Aboagye also strongly objected to the inclusion of former President Nana Akufo-Addo in the galamsey discussion, urging that the conversation should focus on the performance of the present administration. This criticism was delivered on JoyNews' Newsfile programme on Saturday, October 31, as the public continues to debate the government's effectiveness in curbing illegal mining and addressing the environmental consequences it creates.
