President Akufo-Addo Calls For National Consensus To Promote Responsible Mining

Go Beyond Partisan Politics In Discussing Illegal Mining - Akufo-Addo

  President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Wednesday opened a two-day bi-partisan Consultative Dialogue on Small-Scale Mining, in Accra, and called on participants to discuss illegal small-scale mining devoid of partisan politics, narrow and parochial interests. The President said it would require stakeholders in the small-scale mining industry to engage in honest and candid conversations to stem the tide of the menace of illegal small-scale mining, otherwise known as “galamsey”. He said although mining created jobs and improved livelihoods, it should not be done at the expense of damaging the environment. Ghana is not only made up of the people, but the soil, water bodies, valleys, mountains, forests, plants and animal life, without them, we will not survive, and requires our collective determination to protect them, the President said.
