Dr. Ayew Afriyie, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Effiduase Asokore has fingered a well-known NDC financier for being the one behind the importation of galamseyers into the country.

According to Dr. Ayew Afriyie the NDC financier, Nana Anyimadu from Anyinam commonly Known as Noah by the people deals in small-scale mining but the residents never knew he was the one importing the illegal miners into the country from Togo and Burkina Faso.

Speaking on Angel FM, Dr. Ayew Afriyie said, “Two days ago, Ghana Armed Forces and a Small-Scale task force arrested galamseyers, the galamseyers claimed they were from Volta, I told you people, the galamseyers from Volta are Togolese, they claimed they are from Volta, our friends in the Volta region they don’t do that”.

“I will forward it to you, when they were caught, they mentioned the leader who brought them in, the leader who brought them into Ghana is called Noah from Anyinam, the people of Anyinam are listening when we finish open the phone lines let them call”, the MP boldly added.

According to the Member of Parliament, the Kyebi Police Command in the Eastern region is taking him together with 8 other arrested galamseyers to court.

Dr. Ayew Afriyie revealed that they were arrested on the Birim River and they all admitted when they were questioned by the police. Although their name sounded like a name from the Volta region, they are all from Togo they were the ones who fingered the leader who brought them in to be Nana Anyimadu.

It will be recalled that some weeks ago the Chairman of the Parliament Health Committee, Dr Ayew Afriyie accused the opposition NDC of recruiting foreigners to mine in Ghana’s water bodies.

Today 21 October 2024, Dr. Ayew Afriyie claims he has been vindicated claiming it is pure NDC. When he said it, people said they didn’t understand and insulted him, he revealed he knew what he was saying because the small-scale miners for 6 months had been saying that people were importing people into the country.
