Mr.
Franklin Cudjoe, the President of IMANI Africa, has expressed strong discontent with President Nana Akufo-Addo's handling of the galamsey crisis in Ghana, criticizing the leader's apparent inaction on the issue.
During an interview on Citi FM monitored by MyNewsGH, Cudjoe stated, "If this president was serious and was really minded to deal with this matter, he would have done so long ago." His comments come amidst increasing frustration from citizens and civil society groups regarding illegal mining and its environmental impact.
Cudjoe pointed out that even at a recent Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) program, where the GJA president and other attendees implored the president to take decisive action against galamsey, Akufo-Addo failed to respond. "He just read his speech and left the place," Cudjoe lamented, emphasizing the president's indifference to the concerns raised by the public.
