Convener of the One Ghana Movement, Senyo Hosi, has accused President Nana Akufo-Addo of not showing leadership in the fight against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
Mr Hosi has stated that Akufo-Addo has failed Ghanaians despite vowing to put his presidency on the line to fight the menace.
He has therefore called on the President to wake up and take responsibility by putting in place decisive measures in the last days for his tenure to end.
“You have failed us Nana Addo. Wake up to your responsibilities and not for your party gains. Please, do something that will make a lasting legacy for you and your generation. Wake up and show leadership. That is what is required of you President,” he said on Accra-based TV3.
Mr Hosi also stressed the need for stringent enforcement of mining regulations and greater accountability among government officials tasked with overseeing the sector.
He asserted that it will take a concerted effort to tackle galamsey, hence, called on the general public and civil society groups to hold the government accountable and intensify the pressure for effective action.
He added that the fight against galamsey should be a national priority, given its far-reaching consequences on the environment and millions of livelihoods.
