The Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Honourable Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has alleged that the only persons still engaged in galamsey in the country are members of the opposition New Patriotic Party.
In a recent Adom FM interview, A Plus claimed since the 2024 election in which the then-ruling New Patriotic Party ( NPP ) lost, their operatives have intensified their mining activities, particularly in forest areas, to make the new government look bad.
” Ever since the NDC won power ,]NPP] decided to enhance their galamsey attempts to humiliation John Mahama”, Kwame A Plus said, speaking in Akan. “NPP workers are the only persons still engaged in galamsey in this region …it is a purposeful plot to destroy the GOLDBOD initiative”,
Illegal small-scale mine, popularly known as galamsey, was a major concern in the 2024 elections and helped accelerate the NDC to energy. The danger, which exploded under the NPP state led to the waste of many rivers and sparked a youth-led social action against it. The earlier government remained blind to the appeals of protest, who were brutalized and jailed for their engagement.
The NDC won strength with a mission to fix a myriad of the preceding government’s issues, including galamsey. However, the danger appears stronger than previously with no end in sight.
