Independent Parliamentary candidate for the Asante Akyem North constituency, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, has accused the current Member of Parliament, Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi, of allowing illegal mining (galamsey) operations to take place in his hometown, Dwansa.
Mr Frimpong alleged that, these activities are happening behind the residence of the sitting MP, which has angered residents.
“In Asante Akyem, we haven’t had significant galamsey issues, but recently, illegal miners have started operating in Dwansa, which is part of our constituency and the MP’s hometown,” he said.
Mr Frimpong emphasized that, the people of Asante Akyem North will not tolerate any form of illegal mining in the constituency.
He stressed the importance of protecting the water bodies in the area, which many families rely on for their livelihoods.
“The people are angry, and I want to tell the government that we will not tolerate any galamsey operations here. We will not stand by and watch our lands be destroyed,” he stated.
