Business mogul Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has criticized the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for failing to deal with the illegal mining menace, popularly known as galamsey.

The founder of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) posited that the ruling government has failed to take action against this menace due to partisan interests and considerations.

“We have placed politics above our human lives and our environment. Politicians are afraid to say, stop galamsey, stop mining in the protected forests that we have, stop mining in our water bodies, stop degrading our lands.

"It is because of politics, and it is because people are afraid to lose votes,” Dr. Nduom said during a live conversation on his Facebook page on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.

“It is not that they do not know what to do; they know the right thing. If you go to Jubilee House today, everyone there knows what the right thing to do is, but there is an election coming. People want votes, so they don’t want to make anyone angry.”

“So those doing the wrong thing, let’s stop them and let’s put an end to this political issue surrounding galamsey and move forward to make this country great and strong,” he said.
