The Deputy Ranking Member on the Mines and Energy Committee of Parliament, John Jinapor, has said there is evidence showing that some members of NPP are involved in illegal mining (galamsey) and this is degrading lands and water bodies in the country.
Jinapor has therefore called on the government to help in fighting against illegal mining by prosecuting NPP members involved into the activities.
Speaking with Newsfile, John Jinapor said;
If they go arresting the small fishes while their men are blatantly disregarding the law and moving into forest reserves and degrading the forest, they’re sending the wrong signal.
The only way to deal with it is for the President to show leadership, by going after his people. There is ample evidence to suggest and to confirm that some top hierarchy within the NPP are engaged in this illegal activity.
