Professor , the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Shippers Authority (GSA), has reiterated his longstanding position on the fight against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, while highlighting a shift in how his concerns are now being received. "If we had President Akufo-Addo saying, 'I will do it, and here's what I'm doing, X, Y,' some of us would have toned down," he said in an interview on Metro TV.

But we were stronger and more powerful than they, so we pushed them into oblivion.
They even sponsored some people against us," he added.
