He was even more concerned about some illegal activities taking place in the country involving politicians and people in positions of power.


Illegal mining, also known as 'galamsey' in local parlance, was one of the illegal activities mentioned during the 'kokrokoo' program.

He was disgusted by the total disregard for the negative impact of galamsey on Ghana's economy, as well as the President's efforts to stamp out this illegality.


Opanyin Agyekum, on the other hand, stated that, despite all of the negative economic behavior, "I believe Ghana will be better again."
