The Deputy Campaign Coordinator for Special Operations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Biney Hamilton Nixon, has called on Vice President to break his silence and take decisive action against the ongoing illegal mining popularly known as galamsey crisis ravaging the country.
In a candid open letter on his Facebook wall on October 7, 2024, Chief Biney urged the Vice President to step up and push for accountability, reminding him that the environmental destruction caused by galamsey is a national emergency that threatens the future of generations to come.
Referencing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's past appeal for Ghanaians to be active citizens rather than spectators, Chief Biney noted that this was not merely political rhetoric but a genuine call to action.
However, both the President and the Vice President's inaction in the face of galamsey's devastating effects has left the nation in dire straits. "Our rivers are dying, our food is toxic, and future generations will inherit a country with environmental scars that may never heal," Chief Biney said.
