Editor of the Al-Hajj newspaper and a self-confessed sympathizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Iddrisu Bature has asked members of the NPP to stop wasting time assuring Ghanaians of their fight against illegal mining operations popularly refered to as galamsey.
To him, leaders of this NPP government are very much aware of persons who are practicing illegal mining, and named the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, aka Chairman Wontumi, as one of those actively involved in the practice.
According to him, he gets confused asking himself a lot of questions when they pretend and promise going to look for the illegal miners.
To him, it is a waste of state resources in deploying drones and other modern technology to tackle illegal mining problems in the country as the minister of Lands and Forestry, John Peter Amewu had earlier indicated.
“President Akufo-Addo and his government keep making noise about Galamsey from different angles when they are very much aware that the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, aka Chairman Wontumi, is vibrantly in-charge of galamsey. Indeed he is the president of galamseyers who has all the big machines used for working in the sector,” Alhaji Bature said.
In an interview with UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ political panel discussion show, Alhaji Bature furiously emphasized that, “Why should President Akufo-Addo and his government pretend and continue making noise disturbing our peace when the person responsible for the chaos always stands by him.”

You are just dummp like Bature himself and i think u dont know the differences between illegal mining and small scale mining so u think is all the same so u can come and maike noise, If ur party knew wontumi was the president of galamseyers why didnt u do anything for the past 8years unless u tell us he started the business just after 7th january, 2017. If u are depressed by oposition just find somewhere and go and sit and dont come and disturb our ears, or u couldnt talk of wontumi cos yamin and others were also doing same, Bature grow up from this way of politics and get something better to do no wondere n3nso 3b3n d3y do ur face
NDC OOO NDC! Since when has this Wontumi man been in that business? NDC could have exposed him bbefore now. Opposition is hurtful though.
Ghana's foreign currency earnings are low. Akufo-Addo must brief the nation on concrete steps taken to grow our annual earnings. Ghanaians are confident that Akufo-Addo would be able to increase our foreign currency earnings and our per capita income.
Politicizing this social menace won't provide solutions. Calamities don't know party colours if we have to look back at some disasters that happened. Whether it is ndc, npp,cpp,ufp,etc. activists who are destroying our heritage, we now say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Period
The npp government must ask Togbe Afede and his Sunon-Asogli Power Limited, which willfully brought in most of the Chinese illegal miners under the pretext of coming to work for the company, but ended up going straight to the hinterland to destroy our environment and water bodies.
Bature should give us a break,for he has lost credibility as an editor.i would have thought he was going to mention his party(ndc)members who are in galamsey business like Joseph Yamin etc.
IBRAHIM MAHAMA TOOK THE TITTLE FROM CHAIRMAN WONTUMI.IDIOOOT LIKE YOU.THE MONEY NDC GOVERNMENT GAVE YOU WILL FINISH.YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMALL SCALE MINNING AND GALAMSEY.YOU CALL YOURSELF A JOURNALIST.
