Togbe Vudze IV, Divisional Chief of Taviefe Deme-Dreme near Ho in the Volta Region has made girl-child education his topmost priority.

But has warned to deal decisively with unscrupulous men who would impregnate underage girls in his area of authority.

He has again given the assurance to commit resources to girl-child education and said he would, therefore, not stand aloof for men who could not control their sex drive or libido to spoil the future of these school girls.

“For us to make progress as a people, we must all be law-abiding. That means we will always uphold the peace and unity among us as well as our neighbours for development to take place smoothly and rapidly” he said.

Wontumi judgment must lead to wider fight against galamsey- Dr. Zaato

Published

on

Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Political Science, Dr. Joshua Jebuntie Zaato says the imprisonment of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will have little meaning unless it leads to a broader crackdown on illegal mining.

In a post on his Facebook page on the July 21, 2026, Dr. Zaato said the judgment should mark the beginning of efforts to completely eradicate galamsey and hold all those involved accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.

He said the country must work towards restoring polluted rivers, protecting forests and ensuring that people implicated in illegal mining activities are prosecuted.

According to him, those the President has publicly acknowledged to be involved in galamsey should face prosecution.

He called for the prosecution of district chief executives (DCEs), members of Parliament (MPs) and senior political party officials who have been accused of engaging in or supporting illegal mining.

Dr. Zaato further urged the government to take decisive action to end the destruction of the country’s forests caused by galamsey.

He maintained that the imprisonment of Chairman Wontumi would only have a lasting impact if it results in a comprehensive and impartial fight against illegal mining across the country.
