Galamsey fight: The real kingpins are back in power – Miracles Aboagye
by Gabs · MyNewsGh.comNPP National Director of Communications Dennis Miracles Aboagye has accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of allowing influential individuals behind illegal mining to regain power, claiming their return is undermining Ghana’s fight against galamsey.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, the NPP communicator described the NDC as the biggest enabler of illegal mining in the country and accused the government of turning a blind eye to activities involving politically connected individuals.
He argued that the government could not claim to be committed to ending galamsey while people associated with its political establishment allegedly continued to benefit from illegal mining.
Aboagye also pointed to the continued presence of mining activities in several communities, questioning why the authorities were unable to deal with individuals operating openly.
He said the political influence surrounding illegal mining had made the fight difficult, particularly when ordinary miners believed that people connected to the government enjoyed protection.
“NDC is the biggest enablers of galamsey in this country,” he stated.
