He also noted that the NPP as a government have failed to fight the galamsey menace in Ghana.
“As for galamsey, we have failed as a government and immediately the president must dissolve and withdraw both Galamstop and Operation Vanguard; they are feeding fat on the galamsey” fight and soldiers are fighting to be in that team; the people that are in charge have disgraced the president, it is so sad and immediately he has to stop everybody, including the minister,” he noted.
The controversial legislator also added that he has evidence of massive and serious rot within the committee tasked by the president to fight the illegal mining.
He said if President Akufo-Addo fails to act on his information, the party may lose in four regions during the 2020 elections.
"These men have turned the “galamsey” fight into a gold mine and have disgraced the president; I recommend that he sacks all of them because what they have done is disgusting and sickening; important personalities, they couldn’t control themselves at the sight of money, forgetting that they would die someday.”
