Mr Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, the Bono regional chairman of the ruling government NPP has boldly named some government officials who he claimed are seriously into illegal mining commonly known as galamsey in the country.
For some years now, there
have been calls to wipe out illegal mining in the country since it has
destroyed water bodies and some farmlands.
According to Abronye, despite
the fight by the government, some top NPP officials are still engaged in the
act.
Speaking on Wuntumi Radio, he fingered the Head of monitoring and Evaluation at
the Ministry of land and Natural resources as one of the people who are
fighting against the galamsey fight.
He explained
that not only is he engaged in galamsey but he also chops down trees in the
forest which he sells to people.
He said: “Head of Monitoring and Evaluation at the
Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources is deeply involved in galamsey. A
ministry that is fighting galamsey has its monitoring and evaluation boss
involved in the act they are fighting. He does the galamsey with some big man
at the Adamso forest in Obuasi”
He promised to name and shame
all the government officials who are trying very hard to tarnish the name of
the president in regards to dealing with galamsey.
As it stands
now, the government together with some stakeholders are putting in various
efforts to safeguard the lands and water bodies that have been destroyed by
this illegal activity.
