President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Ado Dankwah Akufo-Addo has reiterated his government’s commitment to the fight against illegal mining, also known as Galamsay.<\/span><\/p>\n

The issue of illegal mining has become topical in recent times following the re-arrest of Chinese illegal mining kingpin, Aisha Huang.<\/span><\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo has however vowed to fight the menace to save Ghana’s forest and natural reserves for future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at the Manhyia Palace on Sunday, October 16, 2022, as part of his working visit to the Ashanti Region, President Akufo-Addo said his government will surely end the illegal mining menace in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are here to eradicate galamsay and surely, it would be eradicated. No government has shown that resilience in the fight against galamsay”, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“One issue that has generated negative public criticism is galamsay. Though it attracted less public discussion before my tenure, it is the talk of the town, even among traditional leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This means the issue is common and calls for all hands on deck to bring it to an end”, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n
