Be prepared to bite the bullet if you’re involved in galamsey – Bagbin tells MPs

Speaker of Parliament, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin has issued a strong caution to Members of Parliament who may be involved in illegal mining often termed as Galamsey.

The Speaker in his open statement on the floor of the House on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 admonished MPs engaged in the canker to put an end to it.

Speaker Bagbin underscored the need for lawmakers to live an exemplary life and show leadership to their constituents, emphasising that the House will take action against any member involved in the illegal menace.

He called on the lawmakers to disclose identities if any MP engaged in galamsey.

“If any of you happen to be involved in galamsey please advise yourselves. You must be prepared as a House to bite the bullet. We must lead and show the way.

“If I get any information that any of you is involved in Galamsey, we shall start taking action from the house. Please if you know them submit their names to me,” Bagbin stated.

He remembered MPs of their mandate to contribute to the development of the nation and called on them to make effective use of their time in Parliament.

“We have 114 new members of Parliament, meaning that we have lost 114 old members. A Very high attrition rate. Seize this moment and opportunity to make the impact you can to this country. It may well be your last. Only 4 years and you’ll be gone,” Bagbin added.
