*NDC Must Apologize for Galamsey Failures - Nhyiaso MP*

Mr Stephen Amoah, Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, has called on NDC to bow down their heads in shame over the devastating impact of Galamsey, urging politicians to put aside their differences and work towards eradicating the menace.

Contributing on a statement, Hon Amoah emphasized that the fight against Galamsey is a national issue that requires a collective effort, free from politics and propaganda.

He condemned the actions of politicians who use Galamsey as a tool for political gain, calling on the NDC to apologize to Ghanaians for their past failures.

Mr Amoah urged chiefs, security agencies, and all stakeholders to join forces to combat Galamsey, highlighting the role of some chiefs in selling land to illegal miners.

He again commended former President John Dramani Mahama's efforts to tackle Galamsey, but noted that setting up task forces alone is not enough.

He emphasized that Galamsey is endangering the future of Ghana's next generation, citing the economic and environmental impacts of the menace.

He urged Parliament to support the current government's efforts to combat Galamsey, calling for a bipartisan approach to tackle the issue.

He said the fight against Galamsey is a matter of national importance, requiring a united effort to protect Ghana's environment and citizens.

Illegal mining continues, with GoldBod allegedly unable to prove its gold isn't sourced from destructive operations.

Land Minister Defends Enhanced Lithium Deal, Highlights Community Fund and Sliding-Scale Royalties The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for the Ellembelle Constituency, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has held a press briefing to explain and defend the enhanced lithium agreement. Speaking to the media, Hon.
