In a scathing response to Prof. Gyampo, Dennise Miracles Aboagye, spokesperson to Dr. Bawumia, has laid bare the expectations of the Ghanaian people regarding the government's handling of the galamsey menace. The exchange highlights the growing frustration among citizens with the perceived inaction of the government in addressing the issue.
At the heart of the matter is Prof. Gyampo's apparent U-turn on his stance regarding galamsey. As a vocal critic of the previous government's handling of the issue, Prof. Gyampo's silence on the current administration's efforts has raised eyebrows. Dennise Aboagye's response is a testament to the growing discontent among Ghanaians who feel that the government is not doing enough to address the problem.
The galamsey menace has been a thorn in the side of Ghana's environmental and economic development for years. The devastating impact of illegal mining on the country's water bodies, forests, and communities cannot be overstated. The current administration's promises to tackle the issue head-on have yet to yield tangible results, leaving many to wonder if they are committed to walking the talk.
Dennise Aboagye's response to Prof. Gyampo is a clarion call to action, urging the government to take concrete steps to address the galamsey problem. The six-point plan outlined in the response, which includes declaring a state of emergency, banning small-scale mining, and repealing the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) law, is a comprehensive roadmap for tackling the issue.
The ball is indeed in the government's court, and time is running out. As the clock ticks, the Ghanaian people await with bated breath to see if their leaders will rise to the challenge and take decisive action to address the galamsey menace. Prof. Gyampo and the government would do well to heed the call to action and work towards finding a lasting solution to this pressing national issue.
