During his vetting before Parliament's Appointments Committee, George Opare Addo, the Minister-Designate for Youth Development and Empowerment, painted a compelling picture of a Ghana free from the environmental degradation and social consequences of illegal mining, or galamsey.
With a clear and passionate voice, he laid out a vision that resonated deeply with Ghanaians yearning for sustainable development. "There is a Ghana we all want.
I want a Ghana where illegal mining is not a part of it, but we do mining in a manner which is sustainable and won't degrade the environment in any way," he remarked.
Aligning his vision with that of former President John Dramani Mahama, Opare Addo emphasized the need for a unified front in tackling the menace.
