Abdul Rahim Karim, the Head of the Department of Agriculture, has stated that NPP Flagbearer is the only person who can find solutions to the illegal mining menace in the country.

According to him, Ghana has failed to effectively combat illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, because Dr.

Bawumia has not yet become President. "I can tell you that because Dr.

Bawumia has not been president, that is why we have not been able to find solutions to fighting the problem," he said.
