Serwaa Amihere was joined by Murtala Mohammed, the MP for Tamale Central, Alfred Thompson, a member of the NPP Communications Team, and Kwame Jantuah, a member of the Political Desk of the Convention’s People’s Party.
The government’s efforts to combat galamsey were the subject of one of the main discussions. Murtala Mohammed stated that it was a big issue because Freddie Blay, a former Deputy Speaker, MP, and previous Chairman of the NPP, was supporting Aisha Huang’s accomplices.
The way Freddie Blay and Akufo-Addo interact, according to Murtala, leads one to believe that the war against galamsey is really an attempt to calm Ghanaians down.
Serwaa Amihere objected and questioned how the NDC could back John Mahama’s remarks on pardoning those galamseyers who had been apprehended while opposing Freddie Blay’s defense of galamsey accomplices.
Serwaa emphasized that they should all be condemned because they are all the same. You may recall that Serwaa brazenly asserted a few days ago that John Mahama is a good communicator, but that his remarks on galamsey were repugnant and ought to be denounced.
Serwaa Amihere’s remarks were not taken lightly by Murtala Mohammed, who questioned Serwaa’s motives for continuing to disparage and contrast John Mahama with others.
He clarified that John Mahama shouldn’t be accused of promoting galamsey because he isn’t in power. He issued a pretty severe warning, telling Serwaa to cease criticizing and attacking John Mahama without cause, since this was different from NPP members standing up for galamsey offenders.
Many find it strange that while Effah Dartey, a former Berekum MP and NPP member, is defending Aisha Huang in court, Freddie Blay is also representing Aisha’s accomplices. The Akufo-Addo administration’s inability to eradicate galamsey, according to many Ghanaians, is evident from this, they have insisted.
