Nana Kwame Bediako, an aspiring flagbearer of the New Force political party, has found himself at the center of controversy following his comments on the ongoing protests against illegal mining, known as Galamsey, in Ghana.
In a public statement, Nana Kwame suggested that the protests were being influenced by opposition parties rather than genuine concerns about the environmental and health impacts of Galamsey.
His remarks have sparked widespread disappointment and criticism from Ghanaians, many of whom view the protests as a crucial step toward addressing the destructive effects of galamsey on local communities. Citizens have taken to social media to express their regret over Nana Kwame’s stance, questioning his ability to lead the New Force party and effectively tackle critical national issues.
As the controversy continues to grow, Nana Kwame’s comments are being seen as a misstep that could harm his political aspirations. Many Ghanaians are calling for greater accountability and leadership in addressing the pressing galamsey crisis, which poses a serious threat to the nation’s environment and public health.
