Hello Dennis Edward Aboagye , Unfortunately, the facts and data available contradict this falsehood you adamantly continue to peddle. Ghana Water Company and Ghana Resources Commission data clearly shows that the turbidity levels of our waters, though still beyond the WHO standards in 2016, the got historically worse when...

This is the situation of the Ayensu River running through the Mankrong and Kwanyarko communities. These innocent citizens have never experienced their river polluted to this level. The water treatment plant is shut down as a result and about 11 districts in the central region have no access to potable water. The women have to fetch this water sometimes and cook the water for hours before they can drink. Painful part is, they do no mining in these communities. They are only suffering the impact of mining from 100s of kilometers away. This NDC Government won the 2024 elections largely on the back of Galamsey and the inability of the NPP government to win the fight. I always insisted the NDC were enabling Galamsey the reason it became a difficult fight for the NPP. Today, the situation is worst, our water bodies have been invaded 3times fold and it’s deteriorating at an alarming rate. We call on government to quickly fulfil the promises made to the people. They were just a 6 promises. At least they shld implement this and fail then we know they have made the efforts. For now, they deny the situation is worst, they are buying gold from the Galamseyers, their party people in some areas are leading the onslaught on our river bodies, The government has a laid back attitude to the fight and simply doing the same things already in place when they took office. There is little hope at the moment and we are counting of the NDC government to change this. #GalamseyEnablers

INSIDE OYO NATIONAL PARK: HOW ILLEGAL MINING HAS TURNED A PROTECTED FOREST INTO A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. As some of you might recall, i did a light report about illegal mining carried out in Old Oyo National Park which is linked to Kwara State as well in 2023. After the report which, I remembered reaching out to Ministry of Mining, a taskforce was established to curtail the activities of the miners, it worked effectively especially at the Oyo state side but it wasn't working effectively in Kwara state. After the killings of 5 National Park personnel by bandits last week, which I broke the news, I carried out an investigation to see the level of compliance at the Old Oyo National Park where lithium mining activity is going, then i discovered the said mining has become a full blown community. The current number of illegal miners operating at Old Oyo National Park is estimated to be between 200,000 and 400,000, including individuals involved in buying and selling activities at the site. According to my research , there is nothing sold outside the illegal mining site that is not also sold within the site. Items sold include foodstuffs, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and various forms of hard drugs. There is also the presence of sex workers who render their services to illegal miners inside grass huts constructed within the area. Additionally, medical drugs and medical items such as needles, injections, and intravenous fluids are openly sold at the site. Explosives are also sold to illegal miners and are used for blasting lithium during excavation. There are thousands of blacksmiths on site who fabricate various tools used for illegal mining activities, including shovels, diggers, chisels, and hammers. There is a high rate of child labour at the illegal mining site, also known as Daba. These children are used mainly for sorting lithium from rocks. The illegal mining site is divided into two sections: the Yoruba illegal mining section and the Hausa/Fulani illegal mining section. Both sections are located within Old Oyo National Park. The road leading to the illegal mining site (Daba) is not motorable. Access to the site is only possible by motorcycle. All extracted lithium is transported by motorcycles to Bonni, Igbeti, or Soro in Kishi. This indicates that illegal miners access the mining site through Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni. As at the time of writing this report, many empty trucks are observed entering through Igbeti, Oyo State, heading directly to Bonni, and passing through Bonni to Jeba Oloru, Kwara State, from where the lithium is transported to destinations of their choice. They operate within the confines of laws established by the illegal miners’ chairman, popularly known as “CD.” Anyone who commits the crime of stealing is punished by death. The area is so enclosed that outsiders can be fished out by them. A bike man who carries lithium from the forest to the truck earns ₦12,000 per bag. One bag of lithium weighs 100kg, and they carry two bags, making 200kg. The miners are so familiar with the area that they can easily move to Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni in Kwara State from the forest while evading security forces without being noticed, because many of them have been living in the forest for more than three years without seeing the outside world. It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

Months later, I was right and they are wrong!!! Just fix what your promised and stop the talking… When I tell you these NDC party and government are a scam, believe cos I know what I am talking about. A few weeks to elections, they together with their friends like Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor calling for a ban on small scale mining. I disagreed and I still disagree today cos I don’t think it’s a strategy that provides long term solution. The NPP government placed a 20months ban on small scale mining between April 2017 - December 2018, it worked temporarily until it was lifted and we went back to ground zero. Ban isn’t a sustainable strategy, it has been tried before and a new approach is needed. The NDC and their friends insisted the ban was the way to go and they went ahead to actually make a 120 day social contract with Ghanaians to ban small scale mining. Today, they are in government and the NDC are running away from the same thing they fought me on but insisted was the way to go. The people are simply calling on you to do as promised. Your call now! And Guess what, their political allies who were on streets for weeks in the name of freedom fighters and insisted on a ban are today demonstrating and no longer calling for the ban. Today, they are no more calling for a ban but baby sitting their Friends in Government and telling them to end Galamsey before their Presidential primaries. It’s 2025, and I have won the debate on the ban against small scale mining. If the NDC think it’s the way to go as they disagreed with me in the past, then they shld go ahead and implement the ban. The NDC have a founding history with enabling Galamsey and some of us knew it long ago, said it and it’s playing out in plain sight. Dear government, you asked for evidence and we have just served the evidence. Deal with Galamsey! #GalamseyEnablers

VINDICATION CAME TOO EARLY In September 2024 in the run up to the elections, I sat down with KSM and i made a clear point about how complicit the NDC are in the galamsey challenges of this country. I gave clear cut reasons which are grounded on their actions and utterances. I expressed my fear with putting this country in their hands if Galamsey is a concern to all of us. This was the time when NDC members like Prof. Gyampo and his friends were actively misleading the citizens under the guise of being neutral and agitating for a state of emergency for something he knew clearly was being enabled by his political party. Alas, there were myriad of issues confronting the NPP administration then, and so it was difficult for clear voices like ours to be heard and these so called neutrals and academics took advantage to hoodwink the entire country into voting for the NdC. Barely 8 months into their administration and the NDC is already fast proving every single point I made in this interview. Today, it has become evidently clear, that, the Government, its functionaries and party executives are actively enabling Galamsey and some effectively participating in it. The AOWIN traditional council petitioned the president about the involvement of the Member of Parliament in Galamsey The National Organiser of the NDC is seen busily urging on Galamseyers and asking the president to abandon the taskforce efforts The National Organiser and the Vice chairman have been cited by the Government officials for alleged involvement in Galamsey. The upper Denkyira East NDC chairman has been caught on live TV fighting the millitary and asking them to leave him and his party people alone to mine illegally. The TUC told the president to his face about how Galamsey has escalated since the NDC government took over. Wheeew!, we have the real Galamseyers in power and that’s a real crisis and threats for this country. All this government has to do, is to simply implement the specific promises they made to us as their proposal for dealing with Galams

Water Resources Commission has been tracking 41 Water bodies in Ghana since 2005 till date. The NDC Government displays 6 water bodies and ignores the 35 water bodies Becos they are in a worst situation and is asking for praises?. Sometimes, I wonder “who is doing” this government. Nice stakeholder engagement organised, very progressive conversation and then out of no where “boom” you start mounting pressure on your own selves about some progress you claim you are making even in the face of contrary facts. Now, all you have done is invite others to prove to you, that out of the 41 water bodies being tracked by the water resources commission, 35 of them are in a worst situation now than in the past and that is why you refuse to show the data. Central region is in crisis as we speak, the turbidity level in the Ayensu River has risen from 14,000 NTU in 2024 to 94,000 NTU as at now. Why isn’t that part of the rivers you displayed today. Where is the data for the rest of the 35 water bodies. You mount pressure on your own selves and when you are questioned you start screaming. Who sent you! Let me state it here again, Water turbidity levels are not the measure for water quality. The true measure of water quality is the WATER QUALITY index which uses turbidity levels, Nutrients and two other elements to determine the purity of the water levels. The attempt by this government to use 6 water bodies out of 41 to gaslight the entire country is not only laughable but unnecessary. Fine event but they are spoiling it with propaganda. I mean how?? Our dear doctor speaking here is worried and that’s legitimate cos she can see through the gaslighting. Stop buying the Galamsey gold Stop your party people from doing Galamsey Fulfil your galamsey campaign promise Stop the whining and blame games and fix the menace #galamseyEnablers #galamseyevidence

BREAKING NEWS: The Government of Ghana through the Ghana Gold Board, working under the joint-direction of the Minister of Finance and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, has reached a landmark agreement with the Ghana Chamber of Mines to buy 30% of the gold output of all large-scale mining companies in Ghana, effective 1st July, 2026. Under the new agreement and unlike the previous 2022 arrangement between the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Chamber of Mines, each large-scale mining company will sell 30% of their gold output to the GoldBod locally in Ghana, in doré (raw) form and at a discount of 0.55%. All gold purchases under the new agreement will be in Ghana cedis and at to the Bank of Ghana Reference Rate. The new arrangement has been strategically curated by Government to ensure that Ghana achieves LBMA accreditation for at least one local gold refinery by the year 2030. All doré gold bought by the GoldBod will be refined locally to ensure local value retention, shipped to an LBMA refinery for melting and stamping and delivered to the Bank of Ghana as part of the country’s gold reserves. This arrangement is in line with the Ghana Accelerated National Reserve Accumulation Program (GANRAP) aimed at building foreign reserves of 15-months of import cover by the end of the year 2028 and President Mahama’s vision of achieving zero raw mineral exports by the year 2030. Other details of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, Ghana Gold Board, the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Chamber of mines will be published on Monday, 29th July, 2026

The bar for scandals has been dropped so low under the NDC government that, the issues that were seen as scandals under the NPP government have now been normalized. It tells you how bad the situation is. Long before now, it has always been public knowledge how this government has normalized Galamsey. Government buying gold from Galamseyers has been confirmed by the president himself Government officials directly involved in Galamsey has been normalized NDC party officials involved in galamsey has been normalized The entire country is being excavated, our river bodies and forest reserves have become regular hunting grounds for NDC members and their galamsey allies. Today, some NDC officials are actually moving round taxing/levying Galamseyers and providing them with security and protection to destroy our land. To you the fake neutral, fake neutrals like Prof. Gyampo, who were all over this country, screaming and shouting under the pretense of loving and fighting for Ghana, threatening indefinite strikes if a state of emergency isn’t called over Galamsey, SHAME ON YOU!!! Your heads shld be bowed in shame for misleading this country and misleading your country men to believe you were fighting for a good cause when indeed, you fought for yourself and political party. Today, your political party has become the biggest enabler of Galamsey in this country and yet you sit in the meeting rooms drinking champagne with them and toasting 🥂 to long reign over the country. Under your government today, we have Galamsey happening right in the middle of our towns, at Kwabeng secondary school, our kids study as the view galamsey happening on their compound. At Abomosu STEM, the students have dinner as they use the sounds of excavators as background melodies. Akokeri college in Ashanti has excavators moving right in the middle of the school. Several Districts in the central region have been without potable water for months. It may seem like a lost fight under your government but your conscience would not be allowed to rest!! You selfish, self loving, manipulative individuals who caused unrest in this country over Galamsey are now sitting in strategy rooms with perpetrators and enablers of Galamsey. Shame on you!!!!! The day of reckoning will come and you will be made to account for this crime you sit aloof, enable and watch your friends and colleagues in government and your party bring upon this land. That day will surely come Just give time, some time SHAME ON YOU!!!! #GalamseyEnablers
