In the past week, Ghanaians have got to know that key political elements are sabotaging efforts at ending the pillaging effects of galamsey, directly or indirectly.
At least, Mr Kennedy Agyepong, Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, stated that much, on one of his shows, the Hot Seat.
Additionally, at a Regional Consultative Dialogue on Small-Scale Mining in May 2021, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, in comments before his speech, said the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, and the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Abu Jinapor, had paid him a visit before the meeting to urge him to stick to the script.

He said, “
when they try and they don t succeed, they start to sabotage you and the government and made a special reference to the Anas Galamsey video.”
