Mining consultant Wisdom Gomashie has made a strong statement about President John Dramani Mahama. Mr. Gomashie described the President as a “chief galamseyer.”
His remarks were made as he reacted to comments by Dr. Mary Awusi, CEO of the Ghana Free Zones Authority. The context involved criticism of a Church Chairman.
The accusation intensifies the national debate surrounding Ghana's persistent challenge with illegal mining, often referred to as galamsey.
This illegal activity involves the unlawful extraction of minerals, causing significant environmental damage and social disruption.
President Mahama's administration has previously stated its commitment to fighting galamsey.
The specific details of Mr. Gomashie's comments and the exact nature of the President's alleged involvement remain unclear.
Further statements from relevant authorities are anticipated to address these allegations.
The issue of galamsey continues to be a critical concern for environmental protection and the responsible management of natural resources in Ghana.
