Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, remains unsatisfied with Attorney General's response to the opposition's call for his resignation.

He expressed concern over the Attorney General's clearance of government officials from allegations of involvement in illegal mining, citing substantial public evidence.

Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah Yeboah reiterated the office's lack of sufficient evidence during a Joy FM discussion.

Sammy Gyamfi, however, finds it hard to imagine that the Attorney General's office would continue to hold such a position—especially in light of the material he has been gathering in his own right over the past 48 hours.

He emphasised, "It is only an irresponsible Attorney General who, in the face of all these official documents which I just came across in the last 48 hours while investigating this matter, would come on air and pretend to be ignorant of these well-known facts and say, 'I'm not aware. I'm waiting for Sammy Gyamfi to provide me with fresh evidence."

He was taken aback that Alfred Yeboah, whom he praised as a friend and a great gentleman, would choose to hold a brief for AG Godfred Dame on this issue.

"I want to reiterate an advice which has been given to my good brother, Lawyer Tuah Yeboah by my senior Martin Kpebu. We all know him as a perfect gentleman. I don't know why he's allowed himself to be used for this cover-up. His boss issued this statement, why is his boss not on-air defending it? Such a gentleman is being used to defend this. He is not doing any good to him self. Very sad," he added.

The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has entered the debate on the issue of illegal mining, expressing concerns about the government's strategy in combatting the problem.

During a press conference on October 18, GBA President Yaw Acheampong Boafo called on the government to focus its efforts on corrupt politicians suspected of funding and benefiting from this issue.

The GBA urged "the government to be honest and bold and fish out these evil acts of powerful interests, engaged in the wanton destruction of our environment."
