Mr Mahama, addressing hundreds of NDC supporters after a "unity walk" in Kumasi last week, slammed government's handling of the fight against galamsey.

Ex-president John Mahama says government officials are intolerant to divergent opinions, singling out the bashing he received from government over his pro-galamsey comments last week in Kumasi.

He described the ex-president as a "conman."

Speaking in Bolga on Saturday, Mr Mahama described what he says is the government's inability to take criticism.

He said: “Unfortunately it looks like the current people in government cannot take criticism. When you offer any decision, they call you all kinds of unprintable names but I was not brought up to use unprintable names against my political opponents.”
