A founding member of the National Patriotic Party Dr Arthur Kennedy has said the real galamsey criminals are sitting at home sipping champagne while protesters are being chased.
Speaking in an interview with GH One TV, Dr. Arthur Kennedy accused the Ghana Police Service of being eager to arrest the young men and women who were protesting because they were blocking traffic.
He said, “I think we have the wrong culprits in the dock, the real criminals are sitting at home sipping champagne while we are chasing those who are trying to do the right thing”.
Dr. Arthur Kennedy further stated, “We have gotten our priorities wrong the people who should be in the dock are the Aisha Huang’s, the Chinese who are destroying our environment, the Wontumi’s, the Adusei’s, Kate Gyamfua, and even politicians, all the DCEs who are getting concessions while our rivers get turns into milk those are the people who should be defendants, not the innocent people who are trying to do the right thing”.
Meanwhile, a total of 21 Democracy Hub protesters have been granted bail with an appeal application being filled for the remaining 30 protesters in remand.
