Galamsey Is A Menace Dont Politicize It Ahiagbah To Organized Labour

Richard Ahiagbah, the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on Ghanaians to avoid politicizing the fight against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on October 3, Ahiagbah raised concerns over the involvement of organized labour in anti-galamsey advocacy, hinting there are political undertones linked to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He wrote; “Galamsey is a menace. Let’s not politicize the fight..."

Ahiagbah’s remark follows reports of the labour union receiving a donation of GHC 400,000 from the opposition NDC while the union plans to embark on a nationwide strike aimed at tackling the galamsey issue. 

Read Ahiagbah’s post below:

Questions:

1. Is it true that the leadership of Organized Labor received a GHC400,000 donation from the NDC?

2. If it is true, is Organized Labor raising funds for anything?

3. If yes, have they approached other political parties for donations?

4. If Organized Labor is not raising funds, what informed the NDC's donation?

2. How is the NDC's donation related to Organized Labor's sudden anti-galamsey advocacy and the subsequent declaration of a nationwide strike?

3. Is it a mere coincidence, or there is more to it?

I would vouch for Organized Labor, but that won't be enough because it smells fishy. ...
