He has said out loud what all has been thinking. The menace of galamsey will continue even if the NDC wins. Both NDC and NPP are responsible for our nation's deterioration

Time for a reset. Military takeover.

Am sure He is talking to the journalists from Ashanti region because journalists from Accra will not wait for him to say that. The major problem of Ghana is Ashantis. I don't really know how they think about life. They can accept anything and vote for NPP. If Napo can say that they only need NPP T shirt to vote for NPP, then you can understand the kind of people Ghanaians are dealing with. I pity their future generations. These are the people who don't know where they come from to settle in Ghana but are always quick to call Ghanaian foreigners. I pity their future generations because they will become third citizens of these country very soon.

Why are you Afraid to lose Power? The Statement must motivate Ghanaians to Vote out the Npp Government. They have done more Serious Damage to the Country than what we know. Party / Power over Country.

This is unbelievable. What is that power supposed to be for? Is it not for improving the lives of those who vote for you? Power is a means to an end and not an end in itself. If you win power and the people can't get water to drink, have no farming lands to be productive, and all the growing youth have become idiots due to mercury poisoning then what kind of country will you rule over? Besides, how many benefit from it compared to those suffering the negative consequences? I thought these politicians were wiser than the rest of us, but it appears that is not the case.

So which is more important? Winning political power or destroying our environment -our water bodies and our forests, which one is considered to sustain our lives?. Now all the rivers have turned muddy and we will soon start importing water.Can the poor people like us buy water for our daily use? If this is the reason the government cannot ban galamsey, then we all will die and the government will preside over the land without people.

Which parliamentary seats in mining communities did NPP loose? Is it the Akwatia or the Prestea seats? The NPP lost the Akwatia seat because Ama Sey who lost the NPP primaries contested as an INDEPENDENT candidate whilst the Prestea seat had predominantly been an NDC seat which was taken back.

A CORRUPT NPP GOVDERNMENT THAT THRIVES ON GALAMSEY FUNDS WILL NEVER TACKLE THE GALAMSEY MENACE.

The NPP and Galamsey are a married couple. The NPP loves its wife called Galamsey, and will never do anything to hurt that wife. The NPP will rather stay married to Galamsey than stop Galamsey from destroying Ghana's lands and polluting Ghana's rivers. That's what unpatriotic elephant-riders who falsely claim to be patriots do, stay married to the Galamsey and not care about the harm and destruction caused Ghana by Galamsey.
