Speaking at the 2024/2025 Annual General Conference today September 9, 2024 in Kumasi, Mr Boafo expressed that the real culprits behind illegal mining commonly known as galamsey are the powerful and affluent in the Ghanaian society today.

He said “the anecdotal evidence that galamsey is controlled by a powerful interest in Ghana cannot be ignored. The state must be honest and deal with the real powers behind this menace”.

Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, who mention on the floor of parliament  that the National Democratic Congress (NDC), during their time in power, polluted more water bodies than the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) was not spared, he described the comment irresponsible.

He remarked that “It was quite shocking and most regrettable when a member of the leadership of parliament on the floor of parliament stated that the minority party during this period in government polluted the waters of Ghana more than the ruling party.”

Mr Baofo added that “such an irresponsible statement by a member of parliament is symptomatic of the malaise affecting our dear nation. Every issue must be reduced to partisan point-scoring by a parallel nation’s police drive.”
