It’s your responsibility to fight galamsey – Mahama to Akufo-Addo
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Former President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his strong stance on illegal mining, commonly known as “galamsey,” during a visit to Ningo Prampram in the Greater Accra Region.

Responding to President Nana Akufo Addo and other critics who claim he has not been clear on the issue, the NDC Flag bearer Mahama said he has consistently addressed the menace and laid out detailed policies to combat the problem severely .

“It seems some people believe I’ve been silent on galamsey, but that’s far from the truth. I have spoken extensively on this issue. I’ve outlined my policies on natural resource management, including galamsey, at various platforms,” Mahama said.

He referenced an event organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, where he spent hours explaining his approach to curbing illegal mining and answered questions from stakeholders for more than three hours.

Mr. Mahama dismissed suggestions that he was out of touch with the situation, asserting, “It looks like those making these claims are not living in this country, because I have commented on galamsey over and over again. It is now the responsibility of the sitting government to act on it.”

The former president also recalled his recent engagement with the Christian Council, where he once again discussed his plans to address illegal mining, stressing that he has never shied away from the issue.

“When I met with the Christian clergy, part of our conversation focused on the fight against galamsey. I have been clear and consistent on this matter,” he added.

Mahama used the occasion to criticize the current administration’s handling of the galamsey crisis, stating that the government has failed to take decisive action. He pointed out that illegal mining continues to destroy the country’s water bodies and environment, and urged the government to take full responsibility.

“If elected, I will not shy away from the responsibility to deal with galamsey. The presidency is entrusted with the authority to protect our natural resources, and that includes fighting illegal mining.

When I am voted into office in 2025, I will ensure that we finally put an end to this scourge,” Mahama declared, reassuring the people of his unwavering commitment to resolving the issue.

Mahama’s statements come at a time when galamsey continues to be a major challenge in Ghana, with widespread concerns about its environmental, economic, and social impact.

As the 2024 elections approach, illegal mining is expected to remain a critical topic of debate among political leaders and the electorate.
