Senior Advisor to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Kwabena Agyepong believes that galamsey has become an issue two months to the election because the main opposition political party can't sell their campaign.
He indicated that prior to this period, people like himself had spoken up against mining in the country but did not get the needed support.
However, it is worrying that two months before the elections, there are calls for the government to declare a state of emergency on illegal mining in the country. "It is just the failure of the opposition to campaign.
If you're a serious opposition who believes that you're going to win an election, you'll not be creating or orchestrating chaos in the country.
