Deputy National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Malik Basintale, has called for the resignation of President Nana Akufo-Addo, citing his failure to resolve the galamsey (illegal mining) menace.In an interview with Accra-based GHOne TV, Basintale stated that the situation has spiraled out of control under the president's watch.He criticized President Akufo-Addo for what he described as "lip service" in addressing the issue, further accusing government officials of being complicit in illegal mining activities.According to Basintale, despite the president's claim of putting his presidency on the line to combat galamsey, his efforts have proven ineffective."You have failed woefully to address the illegal mining menace. Your own government appointees are involved in galamsey. You said you are putting your presidency on the line to address the galamsey menace, but you have failed woefully. You must resign," Basintale stated.This latest call for resignation comes amidst ongoing concerns about the environmental and economic impact of illegal mining in Ghana.
