Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communication for the Bawumia Campaign, has criticised the Organised Labour's decision to go on strike if the government fails to declare a state of emergency on illegal mining.

According to him, Organised Labour's approach appears to be an attempt to blackmail the government rather than focusing on proposing ideas and strategies to help combat the menace.

Speaking in an interview on Neat FM on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, Dennis Aboagye asserted that the effects of the strike will bring the country to a standstill. "If the country comes to a standstill after embarking on the strike because of galamsey, what will we do about the consequences of the strike?One major problem in this country is the galamsey menace and what we need are ideas and strategies to deal with it and not blackmail.

Of course, it is.
