Lawyer and activist Martin Kpebu has attributed the recent Democracy Hub protest on illegal mining, also known as galamsey, to the police's failure to act on petitions filed against the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Bosiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, on his alleged involvement in galamsey.
Speaking on Starr Today with Joshua Kodjo Mensah, Mr.
Kpebu held the police responsible for creating the conditions that led to the demonstration. "This entire issue of arresting these 40 of our fellow citizens is the result of the police service's actions.
They caused it all," Kpebu emphasized.
