Anas’ exposé on galamsey very explosive; NDC, NPP gurus guilty – Kweku Baako
Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide
Newspaper, Kwaku Baako Jnr has hinted that renowed
undercover Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, will
soon expose influential persons including chiefs,
politicians and persons in the security services
who are neck deep in galamsey (illegal mining) in
the country.

According to him, the sort of extensive
investigative work done by his protege (Anas) is
so ‘explosive’ and will blow the minds of
Ghanaians after seeing the extent to which, big
men in the country have been unfair to Ghana by
supervising the destruction of the environment for
that selfish interest.

He said the magnitude of the exposé on the Judges
bribery scandal, comes no where near what has been
unearthed in the galamsey investigations.

The issue of galamsey has been an age old problem
with successive governments finding it very
difficult to fight. The Lands and Forestry
Minister, John Peter Amewu recently disclosed that
government will start using drones to augment its
efforts to effectively combat illegal mining to
ensure the protection of the country’s water
bodies.

Galamsey has destroyed the country’s water
bodies, resulting in the drying up of these water
bodies.

This has resulted in the pollution of the water
the Ghana Water Company Limited treats and
supplies to the populace.

But Kwaku Baako Jnr, believes the naming, shaming
and possible prosecution of these big men who are
behind the practice of galamsey will go a long way
in fighting the illegal activity.

“Members of the NDC and NPP are neck deep in
this mess, they manipulate the system and have
their way in the galamsey business, but pretend
they are fighting the menace. I’ve stopped short
of mentioning names because the time we’ll name
and shame people is almost up and it will be very
explosive. I don’t think we care who will be
mentioned or fingered, because really their bad
actions are too much…what sort of money at all
are they looking for. I mean people in top
position and those at the bottom are all part,
they are destroying the environment and they
don’t care. If you arrest them (especially the
Chinese) today, tomorrow they are released because
of their political connections.

He added: “What is annoying is that right after
they are released they go back to the galamsey
site to continue with the illegal deeds. There is
a certain Chinese woman based in Kumasi who is all
over the place showing impunity, she goes about
snapping pictures of some big men in Ghana and
circulating them on social media to show how
politically connected she is. She’s very
insolent because some party gurus in the NDC were
dealing with her while in power and now some NPP
party gurus are also dealing with her, so for her,
head or tail she’s a winner. I just don’t
understand how come she’s so powerful. But
sooner than latter all of this will stop. We
should stop all these things…that’s all I’ll
say, very soon Ghanaians will realize that the
even Anas’ exposé on the Judges is chicken
feed.”
