A member of the (NPP) Communications Team, Kwasi Kwarteng, has criticised the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, , for his recent emotional reaction on TV over illegal mining activities, popularly known as galamsey.

According to him, the minister's public display is a sign of weak leadership. "Nobody should pamper him for what he did.

He has been appointed as a minister to solve problems, not to blackmail people through emotions.

That is not what leadership is about. "He is supposed to provide solutions to problems, not to sit on TV and cry.
