NPP National Youth Organizer, Nana Boakye has clarified President Nana Akufo-Addo's position on mining in the country.
The fight against illegal mining (galamsey) is one of the toughest fights in the country as any government that attempts to clamp down on the illegal miners rather incur the wrath of the people.
Assuming office in 2017, the President promised Ghanaians he will eradicate illegal mining and further put his Presidency on the line should he fail to honor his promise.
Despite the efforts of the President, galamsey is still operational.
However, the newly appointed Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor has pledged to deal with the situation.
