A partner of the Movement for Change, Kwasi Addai Odike, has delivered a critique of both the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for their failure to tackle the issue of illegal mining, or "Galamsey," which has plagued Ghana for years.
Odike's comments come in the wake of the recent attacks on government and arrest of young protesters during a recent anti-Galamsey demonstration organized by the Democracy Hub.
Speaking on Ghanakoma morning show on Akoma 87.9FM in Kumasi with Sir John, Akwasi Addai Odike described galamsey as an emergency situation in the country.
He said both the NPP and NDC have ignored the environmental degradation that Galamsey has inflicted on the country. "The real criminals are those in power who have failed to act," he stated.
