According to Anthony Morrison, the Chief Executive Officer of the group, the President has failed to adequately protect the lives of Ghanaians, which he emphasized is a primary responsibility of a country’s leader.

Speaking on Citinews, Mr. Morrison said “we have lost trust in him [President Nana Akufo-Addo] as a result of the fact that he is not protecting the livelihood of over 57% of the rural population that is directly involved in agriculture and we are talking about 17 million people”.

He further explained that “people’s investments have gone down the drain as a result of activities of illegal mining and galamsey actors. It is a call that we are working on this week.”

Mr. Morrison added that they “intend to follow up with a press release and, after that, follow it up with a demonstration among the farmer front and agribusiness front. We are losing quite a lot”.

He suggested that “There can be an immediate stop to the issues of galamsey because there are a lot of people whose prospective investors are on the ice as a result of galamsey going on in identified zones where they ought to be doing their investment”.
