Samuel Sarpong Jnr, son of the late National Democratic Congress (NDC) Vice Chairman, Dr Samuel Sarpong, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to take strong action against illegal mining popularly known as galamsey.
He made the appeal after laying flowers in honour of his late father and seven others who died in the Adansi helicopter crash at the Jubilee Gardens on Wednesday, August 14.
According to him, his father never supported galamsey and hence he hopes the President would work to eliminate the menace completely.
“Dr Samuel Sarpong never liked galamsey, so I hope President Mahama will work to eradicate it,” he said.
He reflected on his father’s legacy, describing him as a hero who dedicated his life to the nation.
Sarpong Jnr, who has been in the United States for the past five years, expressed sadness over the loss but expressed the hope that his father’s vision for Ghana would be realised.
