We have no moral right to criticize NDC over Galamsey- Owusu Bempah
A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Owusu Bempah, has criticised his own party for attacking the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) over illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.
According to him, the NPP has no moral right to criticise t5he NDC on the matter because its own leadership failed to tackle the menace when it was in power.
“Under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, our own members were involved in galamsey. We couldn’t fight it. He couldn’t achieve his dream of fighting galamsey” he stated.
Owusu Bempah said the party’s leadership “has failed in all directions” and must first “work and achieve a high moral ground before any criticism would be justified.”
