The 2024 Communications Director of the Dr Bawumia Campaign, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has criticised the ruling (NDC) government over what he describes as its failure in the fight against illegal mining.
According to him, he is puzzled by claims from some government officials that the administration is now prepared to take drastic measures against the illegal mining menace.
He questioned what the government has accomplished in its seven months in office, pointing out that some of its current officials, while in opposition, claimed that galamsey could be completely eradicated within two weeks.
He criticised the government's current posture in light of those past statements. "The Cabinet ministers including Sam George, my friend Felix, Joyce Bawa were on Twitter saying that if the president wants to stop galamsey, he needs only two weeks.
