  I am amazed at the shear hypocrisy of NDC and John Mahama in particular. Whilst JM was labeling Akim Abuakwa as the seat of Galamsey in Ghana, the same illegal activity is being perpetrated with avarice in his own constituency Bole.
  After benefiting from the support his tribesmen gave him in 2012, JM is wickedly rewarding by devastating their God given Natural resource . Daboya, Busunu and even the Mole Game reserve has turned into a desert by the illegal felling of rosewood .

Certainly their greed would send them into hell fire!
