Sammy Gyamfi describes the Prof. Frimpong Boateng report as the obituary of Nana Addo's fraudulent battle against galamsey.

Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has referred to Prof. Frimpong Boateng's report as the eulogy for Nana Addo's fraudulent campaign against Galamsey.Report published by Apexnewsgh

Professor Boateng's report, according to Mr. Gyamfi, definitively answered the question of whether President Akufo-Addo is committed to the struggle against Galamsey.

"Any reasonable, objective-minded person who reads the report authored by a well-trained Cardiothoracic surgeon, former Minister for Environment, science, and technology, and Chairman for the inter-ministerial committee against illegal mining will conclude that Nana Addo's fight against galamsey was a sham. It was a scam, it was a charade, and the real intention, as some of us have always maintained, was to help his government and party functionaries take over the illegal galamsey menace with their Chinese and other foreign collaborators, and nothing more. And the Frimpong Boateng report confirms this." He emphasized

According to him, this is why some of the individuals implicated in the allegations are fighting so hard to discredit the astute Prof. Boateng.
"Because they are so frantic to discredit the report and Prof. Frimpong Boateng, our brothers are insulting him and calling him names. Obviously, the honorable Titus Glover has not done this, but he did sound somewhat patriotic in his call for investigations, indicating that the evidence is strong enough to warrant an investigation, which is commendable. President Akufo-Addo's duplicity, hypocrisy, and dishonesty have been exposed by the Frimpong Boateng report. However, if you listen to the NPP's other surrogates and spokespeople, it is evident that they are not comfortable with this revelation. Mr. Gyamfi said

Mr. Gyamfi added that despite banning Small Scale Mining for one year and three months, burning the excavators of legal Ghanaian Small Scale Miners, and killing some in the process, all in the name of fighting galamsey, President Akufo-Addo made galamsey a free-for-all enterprise for his party members and government officials.

Prof. Frimpong Boateng stated in this report that after President Akufo-Addo banned Small Scale Mining for one year and three months, burned excavators belonging to legal Ghanaian Small Scale Miners, and killed some in the process, all in the name of fighting galamsey, President Akufo-Addo made galamsey a free for all for his party members and government officials. According to Frimpong Boateng's allegation, Jubilee House is the Galamsey headquarters in Ghana. That some Presidential staffers, such as Charles Tegoe, the personal assistant to the Chief of Staff, and Lord Commey, the director of operations at the Presidency, were actively involved in the galamsey and the man simply didn't speak, he provided additional and more convincing evidence to support this claim. I am relieved that Titus Glover did not attempt to defend those individuals, as they require defense. He emphasized
