Kennedy Agyapong, Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, has stated that it is worrisome because the majority of Ghanaian politicians support galamsey.
He claims that as a result, the battle against Galamsey throughout the nation has become highly difficult.
But when he becomes control of the government in 2025, he has vowed to make sure the battle is won.
Kennedy Agyapong revealed this when addressing Ghanaians in America.
"I will be honest with you we all want the galamsey problem in Ghana to be solved but read my lips, most politicians are involved. Most of them and I’m not afraid of them. NPP, NDC are all involved in the galamsey menace. That is why they (galamseyers) have vim to engage in galamsey."
"I don’t do galamsey so when I tell you to go and register for small-scale mining and you say you’ll destroy water, I’m afraid the law will deal with you," he made this known while addressing a cross-section of Ghanaians in the United States of America.
"The way they are destroying our water bodies, it will get to a time we will have to import water. We should not allow that to go on. So those involved, we are not coming to get you out of work but we will make sure you all go under small-scale mining that will protect the forest and protect our water bodies," he said.
The potential flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party believes that because there are no restrictions, foreigners are getting money from mining while employing Ghanaians, which is something that shouldn't ever happen.
Taking lessons from Free SHS and National Health Insurance, he indicated that anything the government is committed to works and so will the commitment to fight galamsey during his tenure as President.
