The 2022 Ghana Journalist of the Year, Erastus Asare Donkor, has shared a rather contrasting account of the relationship he has with the current Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, as compared with his predecessor.
According to the journalist, while has, since his appointment, maintained an open line of communication with him, the situation was different with Samuel Abu Jinapor, who was the minister under the erstwhile Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government. "In the previous administration, though the minister for lands then, Abu Jinapor, gave me his number and said I should call him, he never picked any of my calls.
Armah-Kofi Buah called me the day he was appointed to head the ministry.
He had a simple message: 'I need you to help me fight this canker (galamsey),'" he wrote in a Facebook post on Monday, March 10, 2025.
