GMA petitioned to take disciplinary action against MP over galamsey comment

Dr. Nana Afriyie Ayew, MP for Effiduase Asokore, faces disciplinary action from the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) over controversial remarks about illegal mining, or galamsey.

At a recent NPP campaign event, he claimed that efforts to combat galamsey could jeopardize the party's electoral prospects.

His comments contradict the GMA's stance, which condemns the health risks of illegal mining, including toxic contamination of water.

A petition from Dr. Samuel Ayeh calls for the GMA to summon Ayew, citing his statements as "irresponsible" given his medical background.
