Relay Galamsey Issues To Gov’t; You Can’t Tag Asantehene Along – KuYA’s Nana Wiafe

Member of Kumasi Youth Association (KuYA), Nana Wiafe has stated that, Odike and the general Ghanaian populace owe the right to relay galamsey-related issues to the government but have no right to tag or drag the Asantehene along in such issues.

According to him, such function is vested in the President to do so but not Asantehene.

Speaking to Opemsuo Radio on the Nkwantananso show with Agudey, Nana Wiafe stated that Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in any case has to respond and address such issues can only do so upon a petition he has received from sub Chiefs or individuals.

He said Asantehene from his abode cannot know what goes on in other areas which requires that his attention be brought to issues of illegal mining by Chiefs and authorities in those areas and upon petition get those issues confronted and addressed by engaging the major stakeholder who in this case is the government.

He said this is basic and fundamental which he expects Odike to know better and stop acting behind the pressures of other forces.
