The Director of Communications for the (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has accused the -led government of lacking commitment in the fight against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, he alleged that members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were engaging in galamsey, believing that the President would shield them from accountability. "The President is not focused on fighting galamsey.
What we experienced in 2016, before he left office, is returning.
As we all can see, members of the NDC are visibly emboldened to engage in illegal mining because they realize their President and party will be lenient on galamsey due to the promises they made to illegal miners during their campaign," he stated.
