"The level of graft and other malpractices was so deep-rooted in the country and when I started to fight the vice in my capacity as chairman of the anti galamsey committee, some senior officials and members of the then opposition NPP, did not like the move and instead conspired to ensure my downfall,” he said.
Joseph Yamin added that, when he was the leader of the regional anti-galamsey group, he managed to deport 14 Chinese, 2 Indians and one American who were deeply involved in destroying Ghana water bodies for their selfish interest.
He predicted that President Nana Akufo-Addo and the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Peter Amewu, are very likely to fail in their fight against galamsey since there are politicians engaging in illegal mining.
He mentioned NPP's Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi as a kingpin in galamsey, suggesting that the NPP administration would have to do more.
