Buem MP Kofi Adams has criticized the Akufo-Addo administration for failing to tackle illegal mining (galamsey), claiming the current destruction of water bodies and farmlands was not as severe during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) era.
He called for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to be voted out, asserting that NDC leadership is more committed to addressing the issue.
Adams' remarks come amid increasing calls from health sector unions for an immediate ban on small-scale mining due to its harmful effects on water bodies and public health.
These unions demand stronger regulation and enforcement to combat galamsey.
