Speaking at a press conference Thursday, Mr. Gyamfi said the governing New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) members who have been cited for various galamsey related infractions show that the government’s efforts are simply rhetoric.

He said the arrest of a suspended Deputy NPP Central Regional Chairman in relation to the 500 missing excavators corroborate the claims of the NDC that the NPP-led government is not interested in cracking down on galamsey.
