Otumfuo told He is more powerful than Akufo-Addo so stop galamsey in the Ashanti region.
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has been called upon to use his influence to combat illegal mining, or "galamsey," in the Ashanti Region. Critics argue that despite President Akufo-Addo’s efforts, galamsey continues to thrive, causing environmental destruction. They believe Otumfuo, with his significant authority in the region, could take stronger measures to address the issue. The call comes amid growing concerns about the harmful effects of illegal mining on water bodies and farmlands, which threaten the livelihoods of many residents in the region.
