NDC officials and other party members are the ones doing galamsey – Miracles Aboagye
The National Communications Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has accused members and executives of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of engaging in illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the National Communications Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has accused members and executives of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of participating in illegal mining, or "galamsey". He argues that the battle against illegal mining should not be portrayed as a nationwide issue, but rather focused on identifying and punishing those allegedly involved.
"It is not the Ghanaian people that are doing galamsey. It is NDC people and their executives who are engaged in galamsey now. Let us call them out for who they are," Aboagye stated. His remarks suggest a direct allegation against officials of the governing party, occurring amidst heightened political debates over who bears responsibility for the ongoing illegal mining and its environmental consequences.
He made his remarks on JoyNews' Newsfile program on Saturday, October 31, while criticizing the NDC government's performance in combating galamsey. The NPP spokesperson has consistently maintained that the incumbent administration should be held responsible for its pledges to tackle illegal mining, rather than diverting the discussion to the previous administration.
