The Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of playing a part in the current galamsey crisis.
He stated that the opposition party exploited illegal mining activities for political gain during the 2020 elections.
In an interview with Channel One TV on Tuesday, September 17, Ahiagbah alleged that the NDC made promises during their campaign that encouraged illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, positioning themselves as a party that would "liberate" these operations if voted into power.
Mr Ahiagbah emphasised that the NDC's actions during that period contributed to the challenges the country is facing with illegal mining today.
He suggested that the crisis might have been even worse had the NDC won the 2020 election and delivered on these campaign promises.
