The founder of Advocates for Anti Galamsey and Environmental Degradation is appealing to His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo not to hesitate to sack Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCE) whose jurisdictions illegal mining ( Galamsey) activities are alarming.
According to Mr Isaac Kobena Ochem, the majority of the illegal miners are working for the MMDCEs and some NPP party executives who also own these illegal miners which are making it very difficult for the military task force team to clamp down on them.
It is very clear that the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources with its sector Hon Samuel Abdulai Jinapor is doing the best he could to adopt all strategies to fight the Galamsey menace some of these MMDCEs and NPP functionaries who are deeply involved in the act are making the work of the Lands and Natural Resources minister very difficult.
Even though the task force team has chalked a lot of successes through the arrest of these illegal miners and the destruction of their excavators and Chanfan machines the ordinary Ghanaian taxpayer’s money is being wasted so far as the Galamsey fight is concerned.
As an Anti Galamsey Advocate and Campaigner I can clearly see that government do not have the Political Will to fight the Galamsey menace because of the key involvement of some NPP functionaries and MMDCEs.
I am by this appealing and begging President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo not to hesitate to Sack MMDCEs who are deeply involved in illegal mining activities to serve as a deterrent to others.
