Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to stop making excuses and take decisive action against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.
Speaking on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, Mr. Aboagye argued that the galamsey situation has worsened during President Mahama’s nine months in office and urged him to fulfill the promises he made while in opposition.
“Today, we are seeing galamsey escalate in nine months. What the government needs to do is to stop the excuses and stop asking for time, because nobody has time, and the situation is dire,” he said.
He stressed that Ghanaians expect action, even if some of the President’s promises do not yield immediate results.
“You made specific promises to the people — at least implement those promises, let them not work. People will actually admit that you made an effort, but in a situation where you have not done the things you said you would do, people will talk,” he added.
