National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has argued that the Akufo-Addo administration's determined fight against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, was unfairly turned into a political weapon against the government.
Speaking on the maiden edition of Prime Insight, Mustapha stressed that the galamsey menace predates the current government and is deeply entrenched in powerful interests. "I dare say the fight against galamsey has proven quite a very stubborn one that has unfortunately plunged the nation into grief beyond all the shenanigans and the politics.
It didn't start now.
This menace has been around for a very long time," he explained.
