International Law lecturer at the University of Ghana, Kwadwo Appiagyei-Atua does not agree with the position of Asiedu Nketia on the need to declare a state of emergency in the fight against illegal mining.
The NDC chairman has urged Ghanaians to push for practical and sustainable solutions rooted in the rule of law, insisting that broad-based reforms, not authoritarian shortcuts, hold the key to ending illegal mining. "If you intend to deal with galamsey and you declare a state of emergency, it means you have suspended the constitution.
People can shoot and kill at will. "How will you be sure that those who are shooting and killing are the ones fighting galamsey?
That is another matter," he argued.
