Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Special Aide to former Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has accused President John Mahama of being an enabler of illegal mining in the country.<\/p>\n

In comments on the country\u2019s ongoing battle against the menace, Mr Aboagye argued that the President did little during his previous administration to curb the practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President John Dramani Mahama, His Excellency, is the biggest enabler of galamsey in this country and predates now. First of all, he lied when he said that in the last eight years, things have escalated,\u201d he said on JoyNews\u2019 Newsfile<\/strong> on Saturday, September 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2013 under H.E John Dramani Mahama galamsey in our forest reserves and water bodies actually became endemic and that was what led him to set up a task force which was led by Honorable Fuseini\u2026..\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (John Mahama led administration) create an impression in the minds of the populace as if galamsey as we are seeing it today is an Akufo-Addo thing,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n

Watch the full show here;<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Aboagye\u2019s remarks follow Mr Mahama\u2019s recent statement that his government would not rush into declaring a state of emergency in addressing illegal mining, insisting that such a measure should be a last resort.<\/p>\n
