The Deputy Campaign Coordinator for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in charge of special operations, Chief Biney Hamilton Nixon, has expressed disappointment over President Nana Akufo-Addo's recent political challenges to former President and flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama regarding the galamsey crisis.
Addressing the issue on his facebook page, Chief Biney criticized the President for prioritizing political posturing over taking decisive action to tackle illegal mining, which continues to wreak havoc on Ghana's environment and communities.
Biney described the President's call for Mr.
Mahama to clarify his stance on galamsey as unnecessary and out of touch with the pressing needs of the nation. "The NDC has already outlined its clear plans to address the galamsey menace in its 2024 manifesto," he noted, adding that demanding further clarification from someone without executive power was disingenuous. "The people of Ghana deserve action, not political posturing," he stated.
