A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and a cousin to the president, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko says posterity will not forgive the NPP if they fail to deal with the galamsey.
The founder of Danquah Institute reiterated his position that posterity will judge Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and leaders in the country if they fail in the fight against galamsey.
He believes that the leadership of the country has a duty to ensure that the land and water bodies in the country are protected for the next generation.
So if they fail at their attempt to do the above regardless of the power they wield and the machinery at their disposal, they will be judged meanly.
Gabby Asare Otchere Darko made this known while responding to someone on Twitter who pulled out an old tweet of his.
“I remember this tweet very well and the import of my post remains valid today as it was yesterday and for our President, our leaders and our society. Posterity will surely judge as meanly and legitimately so if we do not protect for future generations what was bequeathed to us,” he said.
Regardless of the investment made to help fight the menace of illegal mining, the fight seems to have failed as water bodies which were gradually gaining their natural state are currently polluted.
