Ghanaian Politicians Are Galamsey kingpins – Kennedy Agyapong

Kennedy Agyapong, who is an MP for Assin Central, has said that it's scary that most politicians in Ghana are behind galamsey.

He says that this has made it very hard to fight Galamsey in the country.

But when he takes over the government in 2025, he has promised to make sure the fight is worth it.

The candidate for Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party thinks that since there are no rules, foreigners are making money from mining while using Ghanaians, which should never happen.

Taking lessons from Free SHS and National Health Insurance, he said that anything the government commits to works, and so will the commitment to fight galamsey during his time as President.

Kennedy Agyapong told Ghanaians living in the United States about this.

“I will be honest with you we all want the galamsey problem in Ghana to be solved but read my lips, most politicians are involved. Most of them and I’m not afraid of them. NPP, NDC are all involved in the galamsey menace. That is why they (galamseyers) have vim to engage in galamsey.
“I don’t do galamsey so when I tell you to go and register for small scale mining and you say you’ll destroy water, I’m afraid the law will deal with you,” he made this known while addressing a cross-section of Ghanaians in the United States of America.
The way they are destroying our water bodies, it will get to a time we will have to import water. We should not allow that to go on. So those involved, we are not coming to get you out of work but we will make sure you all go under small-scale mining that will protect the forest and protect our water bodies,” he said.
