Dr.

James Kwabena Bomfeh, alias Kabilla, an Nkrumaist and a Development Studies Ph.D.

holder, has criticized those calling for a state of emergency to be declared over galamsey.

There is currently a major crusade against illegal mining in Ghana, known locally as galamsey, with crusaders vehemently imploring President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to declare a state of emergency and cease all small-scale mining operations.
