Audio Attachment:Listen to Joseph Yamin on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show |
Former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev. Professor Emmanuel Martey has been slammed by former Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports, Joseph Yamin for saying NDC and Mahama administration did nothing to fight illegal small-scale mining (Galamsey) during their 8 years in power.
Professor Martey speaking to journalists in an interview mentioned that small-scale mining (Galamsey) had a field day under the Mahama administration as the government of John Mahama identified the cause of Galamsey but failed to deal with it despite his promptings.
“I don’t want to go into politics but it was in Mahama’s administration that this thing [Galamsey] became worst. I met Mahama, we sat down and I complained about this Galamsey. He told me that he was able to identify the Ghanaian who was bringing the Chinese to Ghana so they will deal with it. But rather, things got worse so if the government will sit up and selflessly manage our country, this Galamsey business will be solved,” Rev Martey said.
Rev Martey commended the Akufo-Addo government for fighting galamsey.
“It is too early to say that the present administration is not doing well. In fact it is because they have come, and thanks to the media everybody knows that galamsey is a necessary evil which ought to be eliminated.”
But reacting to Professor Martey’s comment on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Joseph Yamin urged the former Moderator not to be part of partisan politics; as any time he speaks he soils the image of Christianity and puts the clergy in disrepute.
“When I speak about Professor Martey, I speak with passion because he is from the church that I belong to and he continuously disgraces the church in partisan politics; it is wrong and not helpful to the church.
“From Frimpong Manso (former Presby moderator) to him [Martey] and the current Moderator, did you hear Frimpong Manso emerging in politics? Professor Martey is not a good citizen because he is not speaking on logic and he is not speaking as a neutral person and he is not speaking because he knows the fact,” he said.
He wondered why Professor Martey never said anything about those 8 NPP vigilante group members who have been set free by the Attorney-General after attacking a judge in the courtroom.
“ . . . And that is more disgrace than the act itself; have you heard him talk about it?” he inquired
He was of the view that if Rev Martey wants to equate the fight against Galamsey, he should use one whole day to thank former President Mahama as he did exceptionally well in the fight against Galamsey.
“If he does not know, he should research or call me for that information before he speaks publicly again about Mahama’s effort in the fight against Galamsey; Otherwise, everything he said is not based on facts,” he averred.
“He should stop disgracing the Presbyterian Church because it is becoming too much. Though he has every right to talk about Galamsey, but you see the fight against Galamsey is a fight that if Professor Martey really wants to fight it, he should not do politics with it,” he jabbed.
According to him his problem with Professor Martey is not about his critic, but anytime he speaks, he does so in favour of the NPP.

YAMIN DU BIST DUMM
Yamin, Are talking about logic? The Prof made an allegation, if you believe what he said was wrong, it is up to you to come with evidence but not to use your sharp teeth on him. I am happy you claim you are Presbyterian, are you aware of the scripture 'TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTING'. In any way, what did Prez.Mahama do to solve the galamsey. He virtually did nothing about it even when the media complained about the activities of that Chinese woman. Take the spade out of your eye before taking that of Prof. Martey, try work on yourself and your abysmal performance at the sports ministry and Ashanti Region. I wish you well.
Yamin, Have you given your 4x4 vehicle to Omanhene for his mobile phone? Will you ***barred word*** and enjoy your miserable life at opposition?
Karma mo abre de3 just leave Ghana for another place because ndc doesn't in anyway belong to Ghana. Stay in your opposition with your bufoonery and you will be there till thy kingdom come. Ask Yamin his Abusuapanin ' s house number in ghana? You think we are fo*ls for you to use these bastards born by middle Easterners to occupy our land and spew garbage to us? where is that Sinare who said he will leave Ghana if ndc lost is he around or left? This nons*nse must stop ! Ndc is not good for Ghana and will shall never allowed that party to exist in Ghana for these nonentities to insult our clergy and leaders. 2020 will be a miserable time for these fo*ls who can't work but think politics is where to get their daily bread. 2020 ndc will get 39% in parliamentary and 50 seats mark it on the wall. Ndc will get 3 seats in the Eastern region ,Central -0 Western-0, Ashanti -0 BA -4 UW-3, Northern- 7 The End Of That party will Start from there unless Rawlings take control from 2024 ndc will be out of the radar.
So Yamin, you think you are speaking better logic than the Prof.? Your arguments are lame. You are insulting and defending your ex-president Mahama, who has been described as a non-performing asset. And that is why he lost miserably in 2016 elections. The legacy of your boss, has been very pitiful in all areas during his term as president.
non sense, the clergy is part of ghana. some of this insults to elders by babies with sharp cost ndc the election. Yamin must continue throwing tantrums and insult to elders and they will remain in opposition till thy kingdom come. NDC must stop people like Yamin from opening their buccal cavity to spew garbage else.......
i decree and declare that anybody who insult any man of God beign a Reverend Minister or Imam shall never go unpunished!! continue for freedom of speech and insult men of God.You will leave to regret one day!!You can disagree with them woe unto you when you insult them.
