President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has challenged the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) John Mahama to declare his stand on the fight against galamsey.
During one of his tours in the Northern part of Ghana, Akufo-Addo slammed the former president, John Mahama for not declaring his stand on the fight against galamsey.
Akufo-Addo disclosed that the NPP lost in most mining communities because H.E John Mahama visited these mining sites to promise amnesty for illegal miners who had been arrested due to galamsey. "Someone who wants to be president can't change his mouth; one side of his mouth is saying one thing, and the other side is saying another thing.
During the 2020 elections, after the government had acted on galamsey, he went around all the mining sites in Ghana telling them that when he becomes president he will give amnesty to all those arrested because of galamsey activity, that's why NPP lost in all those constituencies." "We want the NDC Presidential Candidate to come clean and tell us where he stands".
