GHOne TV reports that a Ghanaian regional Minister had collapsed presumably out of shock after his driver absconded with his illegal mining (galamsey) proceeds. Remember, galamsey is illegal in Ghana yet our leaders apparently engage in it and make such absurd profits . Galamsey has gradually emerged as the most talked about activity .
President Akuffo-Addo on his assumption of office promised to put his presidency on the line to curb galamsey. Sadly after five years the country can be said to have gone worse from how it was in 2017. The President had launched a number of raids on galamsey sites and yet the fight is gradually being lost. Well over the past few weeks, President Akuffo-Addo has met some chiefs and also MMDCEs over how to tackle the issue of galamsey. In a meeting with the Asantehene on Sunday,the President again reiterated his desire to stop galamsey before leaving office. Many have criticized the President for failing to deal with his own appointees who are involved in galamsey.
Well, news coming in from EIB Network managers of GHOne and starr FM has it that the regional Minister collapsed after his driver run away with his share of the galamsey money. Many have the driver for playing such a stunt on his boss because they the same people ruining the economy.
