National Democratic Congress (NDC)'s national communications officer, Sammy Gyamfi, isn't giving up on his goal of making sure that everyone responsible for the country's galamsey activities faces consequences.

Thus, he has asked four government agencies for information on the operations of Heritage Imperial Company Limited in the Apamprama forest reserve through a Right to Information (RTI) request.

The Attorney General's Office, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Forestry Commission are among the organizations who filed the petition.

An excerpt of Mr Gyamfi’s petition said, ”I believe that the requested information will enable me to assist the Ghana Police Service and the Attorney-General to conduct thorough investigations into this matter to punish anyone found culpable.”

The NDC issues a warning to government appointees involved in illegal mining, promising accountability if they come to power in 2024.

The party, concerned about the environmental impact of illegal mining, calls for its immediate cessation. Sammy Gyamfi, NDC's National Communications Officer, delivers this message during a press briefing on October 16.

“We hereby serve notice, that even if they are let off the hook today, they will not escape the long arms of the law tomorrow, because crime has no expiry date.”

“Until this is done, we shall make no headway in our fight against illegal mining and our beloved country, will have no sustainable future,” he said.

However, Mr. Gyamfi accused Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo of being responsible for the wanton devastation of the country caused by "galamsey."

The Attorney General and the Minister for Justice have praised the government's accomplishments in the battle against galamsey despite this danger.
