This Anti galamsay Push Is Not Genuine But A Desperate Ploy Against The NPPs Impending Victory

With due respect to genuine environmentalists and patriots, what is going on at the moment is primarily a political galamsay battle to try to improve the dwindling prospects of the NDC to win impending elections.

The war against galamsay cannot be fought and won in 3 months. This war requires strategic, concerted and committed efforts spanning manyr years, to achieve requisite success.

It is only a political NDC anti-galamsay battle that could be fought and concluded within 3 months.

So, the choice is clear. Those who wish to try to tilt the upcoming elections to the NDC, to form the next government, are those who should join their battle. Everyone else should resist this political interference in the upcoming elections, and approach the problem appropriately.

The last NPP battle against galamsay cost the Party dearly, while benefiting ther NDC, which stood with the galamsayers.

The Unions, CSOs and other relevant stakeholders did not care a hoot about the situation. They did not even call out the NDC.

Objective environmentalists agree that there needs to be an MoU signed by all relevant Stakeholders, including the two major Parties and our Chiefs before we resume the war against galamsay.

Indeed, genuine environmentalists know that we need a Bipartisan Consensus Agreement, in order to make real headway in the war against galamsey.

We must consider this issue as a national crisis that requires mainly a natural resources management policy and tactic devoid of partisan politics.

No Party will fight this war, while the other Party promotes the activity, and wins votes from this stance, while Stakeholders look on.

As for the hypocritical TUC, hopefully, the Courts will promptly slap them down with an injunction for their threat to strike.

They are overstepping into a general political area, over which they have no locus.Prince Ofosu Sefah,The Digital Chairman
