The President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), Yaw Acheampong Boafo, has criticized the Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP, Frank Annoh-Dompreh for accusing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of being responsible for more water pollution during their tenure than the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Describing the comments as reckless, Mr. Boafo urged for a collective national approach to tackling the critical issue of illegal mining, rather than turning it into a partisan debate.
Annoh-Dompreh, the Majority Chief Whip, made these allegations during an emergency parliamentary session on September 3, claiming that an investigation would reveal that the NDC contributed more to water pollution while in office.
However, speaking at the GBA’s 2024/2025 annual general conference, Mr. Boafo expressed shock at the conduct of the legislator.
“It was quite shocking and deeply regrettable to hear a member of the parliamentary leadership accuse the Minority party of polluting Ghana’s waters more than the current ruling party.
Such an irresponsible statement from a Member of Parliament reflects a deeper issue plaguing our country, where every national concern is reduced to partisan point-scoring under the guise of political policing” he added.
