The National Democratic Congress has asked the President, HE. Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo, to render a detailed account of his administration's fight against illegal mining to Ghanaians.
The opposition party has also asked the president to give a financial account of how much he has spent on his failed fight against galamsey.
Speaking at a press conference, Communications Officer for the NDC, Mr. Gyamfi accused the President of sweet-talking Ghanaians into believing his resoluteness in ending illegal mining.
"The president should account to Ghanaians how much went into his failed fight against illegal mining and should also as a matter of urgency and a responsible government sack Minister for Environment, Science and Technology.
"It is now crystal clear, that after spending millions of taxpayers money on the Inter-Ministerial Committee Against Illegal Mining (IMCIM), “Galamstop”, “Operation Vanguard” and other activities, and after killing and maiming several young Ghanaians, certain top officials of the Akufo Addo government have teamed up with officials of the NPP to callously takeover the illicit “galamsey” trade, despite its deleterious effects on our environment and human lives.
"Not even the hardcore evidence seen in the “Galamsey Fraud” documentary, a painstaking investigation by ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, in which a Presidential Staffer Charles Bissue was indicted, was enough to move the President into swift action in order to salvage the wobbly fight against “Galamsey”. Apart from the “galamsey” kingpin, Charles Bissue, several actors within the Akufo-Addo government have in one way or the other compromised the fight against Galamsey, while the President looks on unconcerned," he indicted.
He gave the assurance that should the NDC win this year's elections, the party will ensure everyone who is culpable, faces the full rigors of the law.
"....the next NDC government come 2020 will prosecute all those who have been involved in the corrupt and shoddy fight against illegal mining," Sammy Gyamfi vowed.

John Ford Mahama alias Airbus GO1 must account for his failure to regulate the galamsey issue in the first place. The thousands of excavators that were imported to the country during his time as president was meant for galamsey not road construction. Galamsey move to large scale mining during NDC 8 years in office. You NDC guys are now really annoying for your f00.oolish utterances.
It looks likes NDC and its members are endorsing galamsy in Ghana, is Ghanaians talking about galamsy in general or missing excavators. how did NDC know it is 500 excavators that is missing. ALSO Is NDC wants galamsy to go on, or what. as if what Nana Addo is fighting against the galamsy, the NDC's dont want it because they think when the fight for galamsers they will vote for them, only daft people will vote for this th-i-ef, j mahama the corruption king andd their NDC. NDC eii, gahanaians need cleaned water to survive daily, that is why Nana Addo is trying TO fight against the galams
NDC should rather be telling Ghanaians, the need for refineries to get all the metals we can get from the ore body and how those metals should drive industrialization through value-addition to make end products for consumers. Gov't is quite focused on the illegal emphasis on illegal galamsey fight, and it will be won. In any case, does the NDC know of the potential of the agricultural sector eg tree Crops? The Palm oil industry alone for example by 2021-2023 thereabouts would be worth over a staggering $90 billion dollars and growing. Is the NDC aware of that?
This guy should learn to tone down ooooo. The likes of old guards and latter day "saints" of the NDC including Amartey Kwei, Ofosu Kwakye, Omane Boamah, Koku Anyidoho and Okudzeto Ablakwah ranted and insu-lted their political opponents more than he did but time taught them how to garnish their words and speak with decorum and respect along the line. Sammy Gyamfi is too loud lately and his family should advice him
Has anybody accounted for the STX deal anywhere?
so you acknowledge he attempted to fix the problem. that is good enough. Mahama went about saying he will bring galamsey back when elected and that Nana Addo have taken their job away from them. the pressure from NDC people is what is bringing down the fight. What have you and ndc done to remove galamsey ? nothing you promote it. and this statement of your is not valid . it is coming out of an empt brain that needs no consideration at all
THE CHARACTER AND ATTITUDE OF SAMMY GYAMFI IS VERY TYPICAL OF MANY IN NDC AND MOST REVOLUTIONARY PRODUCT. NDC IS A PARTY OF NATURAL SELF-DESTRUCTION. THEY LIVE TO ATTACK THE EXISTING TRADITIONAL ORDER BUT THEY ALWAYS END UP EATING THEMSELVES. SAMMY GYAMFI MAY END UP IN NDC LIKE BOAKYE DJAN, AKATAPORE, AGYEMAN KONADU, JJ, KOBY CHEAMPONG, FIIFI KWETEY, KOKU NYIDOHO, ALLOTEY JACOB, TONY AIDOO AND MANY OTHER EMBITTERED MEMBERS IN THE PARTY. MANY OF THEM ARE USED AND DUMPED. SOME BECOME ENRICHED AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS. NDC PARTY BREEDS THE SEED OF HATRED, UNGRATEFULNESS, INEQUALITY AND DESTRUCTION. MANY ESPECIALLY THE NOISYY ARE LEFT OUT IN THE BOOTY OF LOOT AND SHARE. THEY ARE BONDED TOGETHER IN ACTION TO HATE AND ATTACK THE ESTABLISHED TRADITION, BUR THEY EAT UP THEMSELVES ALONG THE WAY IN THEIR STRUGGLE TO OVERTHROW AND REPLACE THE EXISTING ORDER.
This ***barred word*** AGAIN. The NDC is Pathetic. They dont WISH ANYTHING GOOD for GHANA. They Lack People with CRITICAL and INETELLECTUAL MINDS. All they KNOW is HURLING INSULTS, VIOLENCE and PROPAGANDA. Never AGAIN MAHAMA and the CLUELESS, CORRUPT and INCOMPETENT Party of an NDC.
You not helping your case with all this noise trying to defend yourself!
SAMMY GYAMFI,STOP THE NOISE AND TALK ABOUT THE AIRBUS AND GO TO COURT AND DEFEND OFOSU AMPOFO AND KWEKU BOAHEN.salute
