The Majority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyir, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, claims that the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) government polluted water bodies more than the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
This statement comes amid discussions on illegal mining activities, commonly known as galamsey, which are damaging the country’s water bodies.
Responding to the minority’s concerns about the government’s failure to tackle the issue during an emergency sitting of parliament in Accra on Tuesday, Mr Annoh-Dompreh asserted that an investigation would reveal that the NDC caused more water pollution during their tenure.
“I was very happy when the Minority Leader challenged us that we will debate this matter and the culprit will be mentioned. In fact, we are ready to debate now. If we are to look and investigate both sides of the house.”
“You have had the opportunity to rule this country before. I can tell you; you polluted the water more than us. You polluted the water more than us. So, let’s get matters straight,” he stated.
