A Deputy Communications Director of the (NPP), Jennifer Oforiwaah Queen, has criticised the former Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on Illegal Mining, Professor Frimpong-Boateng, for his handling of the fight against illegal mining popularly known as galamsey during the tenure of the NPP government.
According to Jennifer, Prof Frimpong-Boateng, a former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, failed to effectively tackle the galamsey menace because it was not his area of expertise.
She argued that he should have been bold enough to inform the former president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, that his speciality did not align with addressing galamsey.
Speaking during an NPP live Zoom webinar on the topic "NDC Galamsey Fight U-turn: Hypocrisy or Fan-Fooling?" on April 27, 2028, Jennifer questioned the professor's qualifications, asking what his speciality had to do with illegal mining.
