Miracles Aboagye Breaks Silence And Makes Strong Allegation Against NDC

The fight against illegal mining in Ghana has taken another political turn after Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the New Patriotic Party’s Director of Communications, made a strong accusation against the opposition National Democratic Congress.

Aboagye has claimed that the NDC has always been an enabler of galamsey since 2009, a statement that could reopen the debate over which political party has done more to tackle illegal mining in the country.

His comments, reported by MyNewsGH on November 1, 2026, place the NDC under fresh political pressure at a time when illegal mining remains a major concern for many Ghanaians.

Galamsey has become one of Ghana’s most difficult national problems. The activities have raised serious concerns about the destruction of forests, pollution of rivers and the damage caused to farming communities. Many residents depend on clean water and fertile land for their daily lives, making the issue more than just a political disagreement.

Aboagye’s accusation is therefore likely to attract attention, especially because the fight against illegal mining has often become a subject of heated exchanges between the NPP and NDC.

For the NPP communicator, the claim appears to challenge the NDC’s record on galamsey and its position on the need for stronger action against illegal mining. However, the available report does not provide the full details of the evidence he used to support his statement.

That is an important point. Accusing a political party of enabling illegal mining is a serious matter, and such a claim should be examined against records, government actions and evidence from the period being discussed.

The NDC’s response would also be important in giving the public a clearer picture of the disagreement. Without hearing its side and examining the facts, it would be unfair to treat Aboagye’s allegation as an established conclusion.

Ghanaians have good reason to expect more than political arguments from both major parties. Communities affected by galamsey need practical action, stronger enforcement and lasting solutions that protect water bodies and the environment.
