Ghanaian businessman Jinsah Abdul-Matheen has appealed to Ghanaian politicians to desist from politicizing conversations around the illegal mining menace.
In an opinion piece published via his social media handles and multiple media platforms, General Matheen, as he is known, appealed to President to use the last two months of his tenure to fight galamsey head-on.
General Matheen reminded President Akufo-Addo of his promise to put his presidency on the line and urged him to establish another legacy by fighting galamsey. "The government may feel that a complete onslaught on galamsey may impact them in the 2024 elections, but I believe President can tackle this menace effectively and make it his legacy, just like Free SHS," he said.
General Matheen also called for dispassionate and non-political conversations on galamsey, urging both political parties to commit themselves to ending the menace.
