Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus-Glover has blamed members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the lack of success in the battle against illegal mining.
In a video posted on X by Adom TV’s Badwam Show, Mr. Titus-Glover mentioned that the party members are hindering the progress of the fight against illegal mining (galamsey). He believes that the lack of action from the District, Municipal, and Metropolitan Security Councils allows miners to have the power to create destruction.
“It is our own people who are making the job difficult. My own NPP folks. Why? Do you think I am afraid to speak up? It is a fact that it’s the party members who are impeding the fight against galamsey. We have said don’t go to the water bodies to mine. Soldiers would patrol on water bodies to keep off illegal miners.
When they leave, what do the District Security Councils do? Regional Security Council…what do you also do? So every time soldiers have to move from Accra to these areas. It doesn’t help us.
That is why the president said that if you are an MMDCE and there are galamsey activities going on in your area, he’d have an issue with you,” he stated.
NPP members are making the fight against Galamsey difficult because they are the ones doing the Galamsey.
