Talk Ghana Host Alleges Ashanti Regional Minister Is Enabling Galamsey

 

A recent episode of Wontumi TV’s “Talk Ghana” has stirred public discussion after the programme’s host Kwaku Kyeremateng, KK as publicly known, made strong allegations suggesting that the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene is playing a role in enabling illegal mining activities popularly known as galamsey within the region.

During the broadcast, the host criticised what he described as a “deliberate failure of leadership” in addressing the escalating levels of environmental destruction attributed to illegal mining.

According to him, the Minister’s office has not only shown negligence but is allegedly “providing cover” for some illicit operations despite his public stance against illegal mining (galamsey).

The comments have sparked debate among viewers and on social media, with some calling for further investigation into the claims, while others have dismissed them as politically motivated. As of the time of writing, the Ashanti Regional Minister has not publicly responded to the allegations made on the show.

Illegal mining continues to be one of Ghana’s most pressing environmental and governance challenges, with successive governments promising to clamp down on the practice. The allegations aired on “Talk Ghana” add to the ongoing public scrutiny regarding how state actors and institutions handle the fight against galamsey.

Civil society groups and anti-galamsey advocates are urging the government and relevant agencies to address the allegations, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in the management of natural resources. They argue that any claim involving public officials whether true or not warrants an official statement to maintain public trust.
