A former director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansah-Asare, has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of insincerity in the fight against illegal small-scale mining (Galamsey).
He said the president should have by now vacated his seat to allow his Vice, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to continue because he failed to fight galamsey, contrary to his earlier assurance of putting his presidency on the line to deal with the menace. "On assumption of office, he said he would put his presidency on the line and said should he fail the galamsey fight, he would pay for it.
We have asked him to apologise but he hasn't apologised." "He has only eight weeks [to end his tenure] and by now, he should have allowed his vice, Dr.
Bawumia to assume the reigns of government.
