John Dumelo, the National Democratic Congress'(NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon, is calling out President Nana Akufo-Addo for his inaction on the galamsey menace in Ghana.
Dumelo, who participated in a 3-day protest, expressed his concerns to Joy News, questioning the legacy the President wants to leave behind.
He feels that Akufo-Addo is giving off an “I don’t care” vibe, which isn’t the kind of legacy he should want to leave.
Dumelo criticized the current administration’s lack of decisive action against illegal mining activities, also known as galamsey, which has led to severe water pollution.
He pointed out that during the NDC era, water bodies weren’t polluted to the same extent as they are today.
“Akufo-Addo is giving the ‘I don’t care vibes, yen tie obiaa vibes’ but I don’t think that’s the kind of uncouth legacy he wants to leave which is the galamsey menace”. He stated
He further debunked claims that the opposition, NDC is taking advantage of the galamsey menace to win favour from the masses
He emphasized that the protest by Ghanaians is to put the government on its toes to do the right thing while explaining how water bodies have been polluted and forest reserves have been destroyed.
The actor expressed disappointment at the Minister of Natural Resources, Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor over his silence over the degradation of the forest reserves and water bodies.
