The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taken a swipe at the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) after the latter described its effort in war unlawful mining in the usa as a scam. 

 Deputy Director of Communications for the New Partratic party , Ernest Kofi Owusu Bempah made a comment that  the NDC’s conduct is “like the pot calling the kettle black because their track record in the galamsey menace is horrible.”

Mr. Owusu Bempah accused the NDC of enabling and festering galamsey when they kind of had the probability to pull the plug, very contrary to popular belief. 

“We are talking about a party that shamelessly launched the Youth in Small Scale Mining programme in the Eastern Region, which apparently opened the floodgate for galamsey.”


“Of course, the galamsey situation got so bad under Mahama in 2015, such that he had to hang his shame on the people of Kyebi, tagging the place as the headquarters of Galamsay in the country.”

He went to go against   the NDC of enabling galamsey kingpin, Aisha Huang to thrive in Ghana.

“For those that may have missed this; the erstwhile Mahama government issued an infinite resident permit to Aisha Huang.”

“Precisely on 28th March 2015, Aisha Huang was given an indefinite resident permit to live here in perpetuity and to engage in her illegal activities. This happened under the Mahama administration. Meanwhile, she was unsuccessful in getting the permit during the President Kufour era.”

“So you see, any dastardly attempt by the NDC to rationalize the political economy of galamsay must be roundedly condemned. It is beyond dispute that under John Mahama-led government, the national record of the deleterious impact of galamsay left a lot to be desired. It was simply unprecedented.”

He defined that all the Akufo-Addo administration has been doing is in reality managing a very horrific state of affairs as well as it can by way of the deft and especially optimistic software of the statutory legal guidelines of the land. 


The National Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi whilst addressing a press convention in Accra on Thursday, October 6, 2022, stated the President is now not backing his efforts with action. 

He described the measures and techniques put in neighborhood through government to win the hostilities against the illegality as a clear deception, alleging that some people of the NPP and authorities are in the returned of galamsey in the country.
