Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Former President John Dramani Mahama has told President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that he has the responsibility to resolve the issue of illegal small-scale mining (Galamsey) menace.Mr Mahama says although he has plans and strategies to resolve the issue, currently President Akufo-Addo has been voted for by the people to address the issue hence he must do it."President Akufo-Addo said I should come clearly on galamsey, it looks like he doesn't live in this country because I have commented on galamsey over and over again.
The University of Energy and Natural Resources gave political leaders the top platform to outline their policy on small-scale mining, and for a whole hour I outlined our policy, after that, there were questions and answers for two hours, we were there for three hours"President Akufo-Addo should tell the Jubilee House press to give him my tape on galamsey which I have delivered at the University of Mines and Natural Resources.
Recently when I met the clergymen, a part of my speech was again on galamsey and small-scale mining.
It is his responsibility, the people of Ghana elected him, he is currently the president of Ghana, and it is his responsibility to deal with Galamsey now.
