In a recent post on social media, she criticised the government’s handling of dissent, accusing it of stifling the voices of citizens who are expressing their frustrations against its handling of the galamsey menace.

“Ghana desperately needs a government that works for and with the people, not against it. Ghana needs a government that is not scared of the people’s voice but will listen to it and work with civil society to solve our nation’s challenges.”
