Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Kwame Asare Obeng, known as A-Plus, is a Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central.
He claims that some people in the opposing New Patriotic Party (NPP) are doing illegal mining to make the President look bad.
A-Plus believes many NPP members go to forests and rivers across the country to cause damage. Then, they blame the Mahama administration, saying it is not stopping the illegal mining, also called galamsey.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM on 3rd April, A-Plus alleged:
“When they saw that the NDC had come to power, they decided to engage in galamsey to disgrace John Mahama. In the whole of Ghana, it is only NPP bigwigs who are involved in galamsey, and it is intentional — to create the impression that the GoldBod initiative is meant to promote illegal mining.
He also noted that the current government is trying hard to solve this problem.
“John Mahama is doing well in the fight against illegal mining through the Blue Army and other initiatives, but we can never completely stop mining in the country. What we need to do is ensure responsible mining.
They were involved in galamsey for eight years. Does it mean that in just three months, the NDC has already started galamsey? It is them. If any NDC member is involved, then they are only now in the process of procuring excavators.”
