In George Orwell's allegorical novella, "Animal Farm," the character Squealer functions as the spokesperson for the ruling pigs, manipulating language and information to uphold control over the other animals.
His capacity to distort the truth and obscure reality mirrors the current political atmosphere surrounding the issue of illegal mining, commonly referred to as "Galamsey,"in Ghana.
The President's silence on this pressing matter can be likened to Squealer's strategies, prompting concerns about accountability and transparency in governance.
Galamsey has emerged as a contentious subject in Ghana, particularly in regions like Western Region, where the environmental and social ramifications of illegal mining are deeply felt.
