Efia Odo Criticizes NDC and NPP Over Galamsey Inaction
Socialite Efia Odo has condemned both major political parties for failing to curb illegal mining, urging urgent action to protect Ghana's water bodies.
Efia Odo has publicly questioned the commitment of Ghana's two dominant political parties, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), over their handling of the galamsey crisis. In a post on X, she accused both parties of neglecting the destruction of water bodies caused by illegal mining. She argued that the scale of environmental damage makes it hard to believe political leaders are unaware of the problem. Odo expressed frustration that, despite having time and opportunity, the parties have failed to deliver meaningful solutions. She pointed out that campaign promises to tackle galamsey often fade once parties assume power. The socialite emphasized that leaders cannot claim ignorance when the destruction is visible and widespread. Odo also questioned why responses to the crisis do not match its severity. Her comments come amid growing public concern over the environmental and health impacts of illegal mining. The post has sparked reactions on social media, with many Ghanaians echoing her concerns about political accountability. As of now, neither the NDC nor the NPP has issued an official response to her critique. Efia Odo, known for her outspoken views, continues to use her platform to challenge authority and advocate for national issues.
