The battle against illegal mining in Ghana has been going on for years, but the right solutions to win have been a headache for every government, as most prominent people are sponsoring the miners.
The Media is the de facto fourth arm of government, and its work is disseminating information and shedding light on matters in the dark. Joy News, a station under Multimedia, published an artwork of President John Mahama, Galamsey Site, and the writing “Dear Mahama,” and this didn’t sit well with the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene.

He expressed his displeasure that the artwork published by Joy News is quite unfair, but they chose to use his picture or continue using the President’s picture, but in his opinion, that is wrong.
Right after that, a certain picture of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, was the one on the artwork, and. many people found that very disrespectful.
The artwork was the same, but the face of the figure changed from Mahama to Otumfuo, and the inscription was “Dear Otumfuo.”
Koka has accused the Regional Minister of being behind that agenda and encouraging people to disrespect the Asantehene.
He stressed that Dr. Frank Amoakohene started this agenda through his media encounter and has ordered that image to trend.
According to Koka, the former President, Nana Akufo-Addo, was tolerant than John Mahama because everyone who tries to speak is silenced by all means.
The Media House has dissociated itself from that artwork, saying that it is fake.
