The governing (NPP) has said it is disappointed in the conduct of the leaders of the recent three-day Democracy Hub protests against illegal mining (galamsey) in the country.

According to Tabitha Ayillah, a member of the party's communications team, lead convener Oliver Barker-Vormawor engaged in conduct unbecoming of a respectable lawyer and leader of a movement. "I was taken aback by the conduct of some of their leaders during the protest.
