Ghana’s NPP Accuses NDC of Fueling Illegal Mining Crisis Amid IRS Case
Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has spoken out about the persistent issue of illegal mining, or 'galamsey', in Ghana. He alleges that the problem has worsened under the current administration led by John Dramani Mahama, with some high-ranking officials of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) involved.
Frimpong claims that Members of Parliament, national and regional executives, and local branch officials of the NDC are actively engaged in galamsey operations. He believes this involvement makes it difficult for security agencies to effectively address the issue. Despite government interventions, galamsey remains one of Ghana's most persistent and complex national challenges.
Frimpong suggests that the NPP is committed to finding a lasting solution to illegal mining in the United States. He welcomes dialogue with the government to tackle this pressing issue. Frimpong's statements come amidst a case against him involving the IRS, with President Mahama at its helm in 2025.
Justin Kodua Frimpong's allegations highlight the political dimensions of the galamsey issue in the United States. With the problem persisting despite government efforts, his call for dialogue and commitment to finding a solution adds to the ongoing national conversation about this complex challenge.
