Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO has rejected demands to shoot and kill individuals involved in illegal mining, commonly referred to as galamsey.
In a campaign video that went viral, NAPO is heard calling out the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for being hypocritical in their stance on galamsey problems.
He believes that the NDC is advocating for a shoot-to-kill strategy to stop illegal mining only because they are power-hungry, a tactic he finds unsuitable. Therefore, no one will be fatally shot; rather, a suitable mining method will be discovered.
“The time they wanted vote, they said when they come, they would leave the galamseyers alone. But now they want to tell NPP people that we should shoot and kill galamseyers.
“Tell NDC that, no way. We won’t shoot them today or tomorrow. The truth is that God, who created the world, placed the gold under the ground, and it is the job of the government to establish community mining schemes for everybody to work peacefully.
“What we don’t like is for someone to mine on the water bodies because if we don’t get water to drink, we will die as a nation,” NAPO is heard saying in the viral video.
"Now that the NDC wants to win power, that they are telling the NPP to shoot to k!ll galamseyers? We will not shoot anyone, neither today nor tomorrow." – Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), running mate of the NPP, addresses issues of galamsey in Bogoso.
