According to Acheampong, these activities are being orchestrated by foreigners who were allegedly brought into the country and equipped by the NDC.
He claims that the aim of these actions is to destroy water bodies and tarnish the reputation of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to sway votes in favour of the NDC.
Acheampong further asserted that if President Akufo-Addo had deployed soldiers to galamsey sites to combat these illegal miners, the same foreigners would have disguised themselves as soldiers and killed Ghanaians to sabotage the NPP government.
